The Beach Street Streetscape project is nearly complete. Crews have completed installing storefront pavers on the west side of Beach Street from Magnolia to Orange avenues. They have also placed crosswalk pavers at International Speedway Boulevard (ISB), Myrtle Lane, Federal Alley and the middle crosswalk between Magnolia and Orange avenues.
Twenty-seven new palm trees have been planted as part of the streetscape from Orange Avenue to Bay Street. The 15-feet trees are Livistona Nitida Palms and are drought resistant, cold and heat tolerant and require less maintenance than the previous Washingtonia palms. Landscapers will add potted plants in the next few weeks. Crews have also restored the decorative arches on Beach Street.
