.�rce N�hu/ <br />Oakland Park, Florida <br />Description <br />The first implementation of the City's gateway features <br />should be completed at the North and South City <br />Gateways adjacent to Dixie Highway. Carter & Burgess <br />is now underway with master design and subsequent bid <br />documents for two major City entry locations along this <br />historic highway. Plans currently call for significant signage <br />features to be designed to compliment the adjacent <br />pedestrian and vehicular traffic routes and incorporate <br />new streetscape elements that work with the Gateway <br />features, extending their identity into adjacent linear parks <br />totaling more than one mile. In particular, the plans will <br />allow for future 'Public Art' installations in strategically <br />placed plaza locations. The design challenges in this <br />environment include a host of safety and aesthetic issues <br />related to the gateway locations along the FEC Railroad <br />and the accommodation of existing mass transit stops <br />into the new design. The City has already secured grant <br />funding of more than $300,000 and with the completed <br />plans later this year will seek additional funding support <br />from the developers in the redeveloping downtown core <br />that will benefit from this project's implementation. <br />Reference <br />John Stunson <br />City Manager <br />City of Oakland Park <br />954.561.6250 <br />Services <br />Irrigation Design, <br />Operation & <br />Maintenance <br />Master Planning <br />Construction Phase <br />Documents <br />Streetscape Design <br />
