East Side Improvement Updates

Sadkin Center:

The building should be complete in June with final punch list being done in July. Staff should begin occupying the building on July 19, 2010. The building should be open to the public July 26, 2010 or August 2, 2010. The Grand opening is planned for August 26, 2010.

Crosswalk on 16th Street:

A request has been sent to Broward County Traffic Engineering to put in the crosswalk on 16th Street. The City will request a timeline for installation of the crosswalk and provide that to you.

Old City Hall

The City is completing this project in two phases. Phase one will include the land improvements excluding the building. The bid for phase one of the first City Hall park closed mid April. The City will negotiate with the selected contractor and the item should be on June or July agenda. The construction should begin in July/August. Phase two of this project is the construction of the building. Phase two of this project should go out for bid before the end of June.

47th Avenue:

We applied for a federal grant for improvements on 47th Avenue. We are awaiting a decision on granting the City federal stimulus funds for this project.

Sidewalk extensions on 49th avenue and 51st Street:

Due to budget constraints, we do not have funds to complete all of the sidewalk extensions at this time. However, DEES Director plans to install at least two of these sidewalk extensions during this fiscal year.
