Officials near final plans for Summer Avenue improvements
Design concepts show the potential for developments in the parking lots at Summer Avenue and Perkins Road. Boutique-style retail and restaurant spaces could be built in the parking lots of the Walgreens and Fresenius Kidney Care; and Superman Discount, which hosts a food truck every day, would get a food truck plaza.

Summer Avenue may soon receive some much-needed improvements between East Parkway and I-240 to become a “complete street” that is safer for everyone, including drivers, pedestrians and bicyclists.
