sidewalks on both sides and appears to have right-of-way available
on the west side to widen the existing sidewalk to a shared use
path. The west side sidewalk ends at San Julian Boulevard (one
mile south of the merge with A1A Beach), however the available
right-of-way continues.

Just south of San Juilan
Boulevard at Magnolia
Avenue, A1A becomes a
three-lane roadway. This
would be an appropriate spot
to cross A1A as the west side

currently has a sidewalk
which could be widened to a shared use path.
Just south of the A1A intersection with Micklers Road / Matanzas Avenue, A1A further
narrows to two lanes. Then at Treasure Beach Road it widens again to three lanes, only
to narrow once more until it reaches SR 206 in Crescent Beach. There appears to be
