Jay council approves FDOT plan

The Jay town council voted Monday night to approve the Florida Department of Transportation's (FDOT) plans to install curbs and sidewalks at the intersection of Calfee Street and Highway 4.

The improvements are part of the FDOT's project to standardize sidewalks throughout the state, according to contractor Eric Seib. The new sidewalks will be Americans with Disabilities Act (ADA) compliant, with bright yellow surfaces called 'detectable warning' which help visually impaired pedestrians, and include the removal of old concrete and the installation of new concrete and gutters.
