AGENDA ITEM: Mayport Road Medians -Landscape Option~s/'
SUBMITTED BY: Rick Carper, P.E., Public Works Director~~~
DATE: September19, 2006
~„ BACKGROUND: The Mayport Road Medians Improvement Project design is approximately
70% complete. A selection of landscape options is required before
proceeding to the 90% design submittal.
~'" Landscape Option A includes Medjool and Sabal palms for trees, Crape
Myrtle and Lorapetlum for shrubs and Perennial Peanut for ground cover.
Advantages of this option include lower maintenance, drought tolerance
and consistency of design with Atlantic Boulevard.
Landscape Option B includes Medjool and Sabal palms for trees, Crape
~„ Myrtle and Lorapetlum for shrubs and Coastal Bermuda Grass for ground
cover. Advantages of this option include consistency of design with
Atlantic Boulevard.
Landscape Option C includes Medjool and Sabal palms for trees,
perennial peanut for ground cover and sections of concrete textured to
look like beach sand containing clusters of ornamental grass /sea oats.
Advantages of this option include lower maintenance and `beachy' feel.
Disadvantages of this design include encouraging mid block street
crossings (potential safety issue) and increased maintenance to maintain
clean look.
The relative costs of the options are similar, with Option C being the least
expensive at about $231,000 (landscaping costs only), Option A at about
$244,000, and Option B at about $253,000.
BUDGET: The Mayport Road Medians Improvement Project is funded under the Half
Cent Sales Tax Fund, 131-5002-541-6300, Project PW0401.
RECOMMENDATION: Staff recommends selection of Landscape Option A. At their September
19th meeting, the Mayport Waterfront Partnership Board also
recommended option A.
