AGENDA ITEM: Present Proposed Design for Esthetic Improvements to the 5
Points Intersection (Plaza Drive, Seminole Road and Sherry Drive)
SUBMITTED BY: Rick Carper, P.E., Public Works Director
DATE: July 12, 2004
BACKGROUND: On April 12, 2004 GAI Consultants gave the City Commission a
~. presentation on a proposed Roundabout for the 5 Points Intersection. Because of the
estimated cost ($530,000), Staff was requested to look at other alternatives for
enhancing the appearance of the intersection. The proposed draft design includes
decorative, stamped concrete crosswalks, increased landscape areas, a paving overlay
for the intersection center and a potential display site for additional Public Art. The
design will also move the existing USPS mailbox from the intersection to the next
median opening on Plaza Road, and close the existing median opening to vehicular
traffic.
BUDGET: Funding for this project has been included in the Public Works request for
'/Z Cent Sales Tax funds for FY 2004/2005, Account Number 131-5002-541-6300. The
project is estimated to cost approximately $100,000.00. The annual maintenance cost
for the new landscape areas is estimated at approximately $2000 (assumes four bed
change outs per year).
,p„ RECOMMENDATION: No recommendations -for City Commission information and
review only.
