Lawrence Road Median Beautification Project
Project Limits Lawrence Road from Gateway Blvd. to Hypoluxo Road
Overview
This website serves as the central hub for project information, updates, and community engagement. It provides a clear overview of the planned improvements, design concepts, and project timeline as the City of Boynton Beach works to enhance this corridor.
About the Project
Lawrence Road is a Palm Beach County roadway approximately 2.4 miles long, extending from Gateway Boulevard to Hypoluxo Road. It is a four-lane corridor with a center turn lane, providing an important connection between neighborhoods and major roads.
Currently, the roadway has minimal shade and no landscaping. The Lawrence Road Streetscape Beautification Project will enhance the existing medians with sustainable, low-maintenance plantings to create a greener, safer, and more welcoming corridor for the community.

COMMUNITY ENGAGEMENT
Resident participation is a vital part of this project. Through the Lawrence Road Renewal campaign, residents will have opportunities to:
● Attend a public meeting located at Citrus Cove Elementary to review design concepts
● Complete online surveys
● Stay informed through website and newsletter updates
Project Scope
The project includes surveying for topographic mapping, landscape architecture for new and extended medians with public-ready renderings, and electrical engineering for accent lighting. Civil engineering will address roadway signage, markings, and access improvements, while public engagement will gather feedback through meetings, surveys, and newsletters.
Who is Involved
The City of Boynton Beach leads the project with Palm Beach County as the right-of-way partner. Craven Thompson provides engineering and design, DDEC handles outreach and branding, Quantum manages lighting design, and Masuen Consulting oversees irrigation.
Why This Project is Needed
Lawrence Road’s medians and sidewalks have aging landscaping, narrow strips, and outdated driveway cuts that make the corridor less safe and inviting. A landscape renewal will unify the look, improve safety, and better reflect the community’s identity.
Purpose of the Project
The project will refresh medians with new landscaping, lighting, and pedestrian features that showcase Boynton Beach’s character. Improvements include safer sidewalks, drought-tolerant plantings, and enhanced lighting for a welcoming, sustainable corridor.
Existing Conditions
Corridor Characteristics:
- 80-foot right-of-way
- 4-lane undivided roadway from Woolbright Rd. to 2nd Ave.
- 5-lanes with center turn lane from 2nd Ave. to Boynton Beach Blvd.
