SUBJECT / RECOMMENDATION:
Approve conceptual plan for Phase II of Cleveland Street Streetscape, authorize staff to establish a new capital project 315/388-92275,
Downtown Streetscape Phase II in the amount of $4,028,925 by: transferring $1,574,000 from CRA project 388-92269, Downtown
Streetscape, to the new capital project 388-92275, Downtown Streetscape - Phase II; transferring $636,000 from City project 315-

Fund reserves, to be replaced by CRA funds as they become available over the next two to three fiscal years as programmed in the CRA
Six-Year Plan.
SUMMARY:
Creating a pedestrian-friendly downtown environment, coupled with significant entrance and directional signage is a key element of the
Downtown revitalization strategy detailed in the Clearwater Downtown Redevelopment Plan.
The city retained Bellomo-Herbert and Company, Landscape Architects in August 2002 to develop a Master Streetscape and
Wayfinding Program for Downtown (including the expanded CRA area). The first phase of the implementation of the plan was
completed in December 2007 with the Cleveland Street Streetscape from Osceola to Myrtle Avenues. The $10 million construction
project was funded from Penny for Pinellas, the CRA trust fund, a Florida Department of Transportation grant and utility funds. The
goals for the first phase of Cleveland Streetscape were accomplished: 1) enhance the pedestrian environment; 2) invite residents and
visitors to Downtown; and 3) encourage private development.
The next phase of the streetscape program is imperative to the continued success of increasing redevelopment opportunities in the
Downtown. With the development of the 1100 Cleveland Street building (The Strand), the development agreement with the Crum
Services building site (former IMR/CGI), and the availability of the Prospect Lake Redevelopment Site, Phase II of the Cleveland Street
Streetscape is a critical infrastructure project that will continue to encourage and facilitate the City and CRA’s redevelopment goals.
The conceptual plan for Cleveland Street Phase II continues the look and feel of the first phase of the Cleveland Streetscape, but with a
less intense, and therefore less expensive, treatment. Streetscape features will include:
Asphalt milling and resurfacing of the travel lanes and on-street parking spaces on both sides of the street
New concrete curbing to create new medians/traffic separators in the middle of the roadway with new landscaping
New wide sidewalks made of specialty concrete and pavers to improve and enhance the pedestrian space. Pavers will be limited
to the corners and mid-block; concrete will make up the sidewalk with a paver banding.
New crosswalks at all intersections to improve the appearance and safety for pedestrians
Amenities such as benches and trashcans will be included. The type of benches will be evaluated and only be located on the
corners.
Landscaping will include the signature medjool palms on the corners and mid-block, with street trees (crape myrtles) in between.
The existing overhead electrical line will be removed.
The existing span-wire signals at M.L. King and Missouri will be replaced with decorative mast arm signals.
The proposed streetlights in Phase II will be the same except they will have single heads. They will support banner arms and will
have electrical outlets for seasonal lighting, just like in Phase 1 (Making this change will reduce the monthly costs to Progress
Energy by as much $1,000).
This project will also provide public art funding (up to 1% of the construction costs).
Estimated Cost
The project is estimated to cost $4,028,925 inclusive of design and construction.
Estimated Funding
The City has received a $196,000 appropriation from the federal government to begin the design portion of this project (estimated at
$306,477).
Budget amendments of the City and CRA will establish the jointly funded project 315/388-92275, Downtown Streetscape Phase II as
