the Landings.
The city continues to provide “street-sweeping services” once
a week, for the “qualified streets” within the Landings (those
streets with standing curbs), which are Bayview Drive and NE
55th Street.
Landscaping Upgrades
The city has completed the installation of additional
plantings in the areas of the Landings Bridge Columns. We
have impressed upon the city, the importance of keeping
the vegetation properly pruned so that both vehicular and
pedestrian traffic have a clear line-of-sight when navigating
the pedestrian ways, the bike ways and the automobile traffic
lanes crossing the bridges.
In addition to the palms that were recently planted along
Bayview Drive, additional landscaping is slated to commence
on Bayview Drive, after the commencement of the new
“October 2024” budget cycle. Following these additional
plantings, we can expect additional upgrades to the NE
55th Street Monument Wall / Entry. The city continues to
improve their sprinkler maintenance and median maintenance
through the resources they currently have budgeted.
