Coral Springs committee reviews multiple design proposals for new sidewalk construction project in the hills neighborhood along NW 39th court
Coral Springs, Florida – Coral Springs is moving forward with early planning steps for a new sidewalk project in the Hills neighborhood, as city officials prepare to review several design and engineering proposals this week. The effort is part of a broader push to improve walkability and safety along local residential streets, with a focus on NW 39th Court.
According to city documents, a committee is set to meet on Friday to evaluate bids submitted by engineering firms. The goal is to select a company that will design a 5-foot-wide sidewalk along the north side of NW 39th Court. The planned stretch runs between Coral Hills Drive and Coral Springs Drive, an area that currently lacks continuous pedestrian pathways.
The city previously issued a request for proposals, asking qualified firms to develop detailed designs for the project. These designs are expected to include construction documents, technical specifications, and estimated costs. Officials say the selected firm will be responsible for delivering the completed design package to the city by December, setting the stage for the next phase of the project.

Funding for the design work will come from a $250,000 grant provided through the U.S. Housing and Urban Development Department’s Community Development Block Grants program. The program is often used by municipalities to support infrastructure improvements, particularly in residential areas where accessibility and safety upgrades are needed. However, the overall cost of the full sidewalk construction project has not yet been determined.
Once the design phase is complete, Coral Springs will move toward selecting a construction contractor. That process will take place after the city reviews the final engineering plans and cost estimates. For now, officials are focused on choosing the right firm to shape the project from the ground up, ensuring it meets both technical requirements and community needs.
Residents in the Hills neighborhood have long expressed interest in improved pedestrian access, and the planned sidewalk is expected to address gaps in the current infrastructure. While the project is still in its early stages, city planners see it as an important step in enhancing neighborhood connectivity.
The upcoming committee meeting on Friday marks a key moment in that process, as decisions made there will influence how quickly the project moves forward. Although timelines beyond the design phase remain unclear, city officials continue to emphasize steady progress as they work through each stage of development.
