Coral Springs to consider $205,000 design contract for NW 39th Court sidewalk

Coral Springs, Florida – Plans to replace a sidewalk that switches sides along NW 39th Court are returning to the Coral Springs City Commission, with officials set to consider a design contract and additional grant funding.

Two items concerning the project are on the agenda for the commission’s Wednesday, October 21 meeting. The meeting begins at 6:30 p.m. at City Hall, 9500 W. Sample Road.

The work would cover NW 39th Court between Coral Hills Drive and Coral Springs Drive in the Running Brook Hills subdivision. The proposed design would create a continuous path on the north side of the street.

Commissioners will consider a $205,000 contract with Kimley-Horn and Associates Inc. for the design work. City documents call for a sidewalk measuring five or six feet wide and meeting Americans with Disabilities Act standards.

The design would also examine the roadway, curbs and minor drainage improvements. In its grant plan, the city describes replacing the existing asphalt sidewalk with concrete.

Funding for the project has already been approved through the city’s capital improvement plan. Federal grant money would help offset expenses, with a proposed funding adjustment now coming before commissioners.

When the commission approved its 2025–26 grant plan in June 2025, it allocated $80,000 in Community Development Block Grant funding for engineering and design along the street.

Officials now want to add $110,000 remaining from earlier projects that finished below budget. Combined with the original allocation, that would bring the project’s grant funding to $190,000.

If commissioners approve the proposed change, city officials would submit it to the U.S. Department of Housing and Urban Development for approval. The additional grant allocation therefore requires another review beyond the commission’s decision.

The items on the upcoming agenda concern project design and funding. They do not establish a construction schedule or identify how much building the new sidewalk would cost.

For residents, the proposed result is a path that stays on one side of NW 39th Court. The immediate decision, however, is whether to move ahead with the design contract and the grant adjustment needed to help fund that work.
