RE: LANDSCAPING ON GARVEY AVENUE - STUDY SESSION
The study session was scheduled to discuss proposed raised landscaped
medians and landscaped parkways which are recommended to be included in
the Garvey Avenue reconstruction project from City limit to City limit.
Letters were sent to the business community along Garvey Avenue notify-
ing them of tonight's meeting.
As you know, the Agency has proposed improvements to Garvey Avenue
which include pavement and parkway areas. Staff recommends the con-
struction of raised landscaped medians and reconstruction of the land-
scaped parkways to improve the aesthetic appearance of the street.
Raised landscaped medians would replace the existing two-way, left-turn
painted medians. In order to design adequate segments of uninterrupted
landscaped medians, some left-turn pockets to the minor cross streets may
need to be eliminated. Staff will be able to better determine these loca-
tions, if any, once the conceptual design is completed.
RECOMMENDATIONS
1. Provide raised landscaped medians and landscaped parkways on
Garvey Avenue.
2, Direct the City Engineer to provide a proposal for Garvey Avenue
improvements which would include:
a. concept phase to determine precise landscape configurations and
left-turn pocket locations; and
