The following provides an update on these projects, as well as, a glimpse to the activities moving forward for next fiscal year. SR 50 Median Landscaping & Street Lighting The installation of the plant materials was finalized late last year and the contractor transitioned their activities to maintenancefor the one-year warranty period. The warranty period ends on September 15, 2021. The Contractor is currently in the process of replacing dead and/or dying plant materials failed by the CRA Administrator. SR 50 SR 50 SR 50 SR 50 Streetlighting – The City finalized the required forms in order for Duke Energy to commence installing streetlights on SR 50 beginning east of SR 429 and ending west of Good Homes Road. We are waiting on the installation schedule from Duke Energy. Healthy West Orange Wellness Park Designing Parks that Embrace Healthy Community Initiatives Building Partnerships with WOHD Staff was able to secure a $2,250,000 grant from the West Orange Healthcare District to construct the new park. The project will be advertised shortly and the construction will be a primary focus for staff in 2021-2022. The park includesfour (4) outdoor exercise areas. Each of the exercise areas will be located underneath a sunshade. The park will also include a wellness-walking loop and a ceremonial plaza. S.Bluford Avenue Complete Street Project S .Bluford Avenue is a critical local connector road for the City, as well as, for Fifty West in that it connects SR 50 to City Center and Downtown. The City has enlisted the services of a consultant to engineer the project and prepare the construction documents. Design is expected to take approximately 1 year. The project will include a 10’ shared pathway from Old Winter Garden Road north to the CRA’s northern limits at Geneva Street. Other improvements include addition of medians, landscaping, expansion of utilities, roundabouts at Geneva and Maine, and street lighting. Undergrounding will be included north of SR 50. The CRA is partnering with the City, in that, the City is funding the project north of Geneva Street to where it will terminate at Delaware Street. Dueto the magnitude of the project it isanticipated that theproject will need to be implemented in three (3) phases and alternative funding will need to be secured to leverage CRA and City funds. Based on receiving funding from the West Orange Healthcare District for the Wellness Park, staff recommends the CRA’s dollars identified for Wellness Park be shifted to the CRA’s portion of the S. Bluford Avenue Complete Street Project. The City did acquire a $750,000 grant from the West Orange Health Care District for the installation of the planned 10’ shared pathway from Geneva Street north to Delaware Street where the Downtown shared pathway terminates. N.Blackwood Avenue will be the primary access to City Center from SR 50. Recognizing the importance of this connection, staff is working with an engineering and landscape architecture consultant to design a new streetscape. Improvements include a roundabout at Montgomery Avenue, landscaped medians, and new streetlights. Based on the change in direction to incorporate a roundabout, this project has been delayed due a few issues with FDOT and a delay in City Center construction. Construction of the N. Blackwood Avenue improvements will occur as City Center construction is winding down, being that N.Blackwood Avenue is the designated access for construction access to City Center. The estimated construction cost is currently $1,900,000 and anticipated to start in late FY 2022 and wrap up in 2024. Healthy West Orange Trails Initiative Last year staff assisted the West Orange Healthcare District (WOHD) in drafting the Healthy West Orange Trails Initiative for West Orange County. The year-long process included a massive amount of research and data collection, the facilitation of over 30 participants in providing input through virtual meetings and correspondence, and the development of maps and a report that display existing and future trails for Oakland, Winter Garden, Windermere, Gotha, Orange County and Ocoee. We believe that our participation in this effort positioned the City and CRA to receive the recent $3,000,000 grant from the WOHD for the construction of Wellness Park and a portion of the S. Bluford Avenue Shared Pathway. 261!O/!Mblftipsf!Esjwf-!Pdpff-!GM!45872 518/:16/4211!y!2139 pdpffdsb/dpn
