Subject: Discussion and direction regarding the proposed Bluford Avenue Streetscape
modifications for the purpose of addressing walkability and public safety between Delaware
Street and McKey Street
Background Summary:
It's normal practice, following the installation of streetscapes, to do a walk-through at substantial completion to
determine if the new improvements, including changes that were made in the field and improvements by others
such as signage and lighting, have resulted in unexpected situations that impact the original intent of a design,
walkability or public safety. City staff has completed their walkability and public safety assessment of Bluford
Avenue between Delaware Street and McKey Street and found the following:
• The crape myrtles planted at each intersection are causing pedestrian and bicycle conflicts due to the
location of the planters.
• There are palms that conflict with signage, street lighting, connecting walkways, driveways and/or
ramps.
Issue:
Streetscape modifications are needed for Bluford Avenue Streetscape in order to improve overall walkability
and safety, and to increase pedestrian and bicycle capacity of the sidewalks between Delaware Street and
Lafayette Street (the block adjacent to Ocoee Middle School). Steps to correct the issues include the following:
1. Remove the existing seven (7) crape myrtles south of McKey Street and fill planters with concrete to
provide increased sidewalk area. Do not plant the eight (8) crape myrtles north of McKey Street that are
located in a sidewalk planter. Crape myrtles will remain in the larger planting beds on the east side of
Bluford Avenue, north of McKey Street, as shown on the plans.
2. Remove the twelve (12) palms that are conflicting with street lights, signage, ramps and/or connecting
sidewalks between Delaware Street and McKey Street and fill planters with concrete to provide
increased sidewalk area. These twelve (12) palms can be relocated north of McKey Street in locations
that do not create safety issues or walkability conflicts.
See the attached graphic for the location of palms and crape myrtles that are impacted. It is noted that staff will
complete the same inspection north of McKey Street and make any adjustments prior to planting the palms
between McKey Street and Silver Star Road.
Recommendations
Request that the honorable Mayor and Commissioners direct staff to work with the project's contractor, Oelrich
Construction, to complete the items identified in this staff report and corresponding graphic.

Financial Impact:
The relocation of palm trees can be accomplished within the existing contract amount and the contractor has
agreed to honor a one-year warranty period. The City will save funds by not planting the crape myrtles to the
north of McKey Street. There may be added costs to fill the planters with concrete and properly finished to
serve as sidewalk. If there are costs that cannot be accommodated within contract limitations, these costs will
be brought back to the Commission.
