Potential Future Project for Discussion
As of October 7, 2021
1. Extend fence on south side of park
Members concurred extension of the fence should be undertaken. The MSTU needs to
contact the citizens on Flamingo to inform them in advance.
Negative feedback received from two citizens.
PM asked for a rough quote to grub 150’ of scrub on bank and to install ten sections of
fence and ten columns.
Get approval from Parks and Rec. 6 May 2021
Cost for fence $65,000
Parks and Rec. recommended that we do not extend our project.
2. Refurbishment of Vanderbilt Drive Landscape
A landscape design for Vanderbilt Drive will be submitted for Committee consideration
upon completion of Conner Park refurbishment.
3. Refurbish bridge of channel on Bluebill
The Committee suggested cleaning the waterway bridge and/or researching application of a
veneer stone.
PM met with Director Road Maintenance July 16 and received somewhat positive
feedback..
4. Install Sidewalks east and west side of Gulf Shore Drive
The Road Maintenance Division is considering sidewalk installation on the east side of
Gulf Shore Drive for 2025. Design and fund allocation are required; sidewalks must
conform to County code and be ADA compliant. A bike path should be incorporated into
the project design. Drainage would have to be redesigned to accommodate the installation.
Project timeline depends on coordination with Road Maintenance and many issues which
were discussed July 16.
5. Lighted street name signs at intersections along Gulf Shore Drive and Vanderbilt Drive
The project is on hold, pending development of technology to provide attractive, small
scale LED Solar lighting
Under review. Most lighted street signs are not attractive.
6. Install Radar speed signs along west side of Vanderbilt Drive and Gulf Shore, total of
four.
Traffic Ops installed two signs on north end of Gulf Shore Drive in early June.
