The Historic North Swinton Avenue is experiencing pavement deterioration including uneven surfaces of the roadways, asphalt cracking, and accelerated deterioration adversely impacting roadway stability and rideability.

In addition, there are of non-continuous sidewalks that prohibit pedestrian connectivity throughout the roadway corridor. The City intends to provide improved bicycle/pedestrian connectivity along the North Swinton Avenue corridor, including to the dedicated bicycle lanes within the NE 2nd Avenue (Seacrest Boulevard) corridor along NE 22nd Street and improvements to the sidewalk located at the NE corner of NE 2nd Avenue and NE 22nd Street Intersection that were not included in the NE 2nd Avenue Beautification Project. The City will also include drainage improvements at the SW corner of NE 2nd Avenue and NE 22nd Street. Additionally, drainage, lighting, signing & pavement marking and landscaping will be addressed throughout the project limits.
The monthly cost for usage of the 150 new LED Street Decorative Lights for the North Swinton Avenue Roadway Underground Utility Improvement Project (Project No. 19-012) is estimated at $5,827.93.
This motion is in accordance with Code of Ordinances Section 36.02 Commission Approval Required.
