The roadway includes a four-lane divided roadway with a raised median, expanded six-foot wide sidewalks, 10-foot wide bicycle lanes and on-street parking.

The event comes nearly a month after a Publix supermarket opened its doors at the Groves at College Park plaza.

A replica of Dr. Phillips’ iconic juice stand also opened in January, considered the “centerpiece” of the whole Packing District.
