OLD BUSINESS: Update on Working Waterfront
John Conway turned the discover over to Al Minner for an update on activities occurring on the
working waterfront site and other projects in the Riverfront area.
Hurricane Harbor /Fisherman's Landing Sebastian Mr. Minner gave an overview of the
renovations that have occurred to date, the planned timeframe for the improvements (attached)
and provided a draft site plan drawing of the vision (attached).
Parking Study The Riverfront Parking Study is underway and a draft report is anticipated by
the end of the calendar year with this item being presented to the City Coucil /CRA in January.
Beth Mitchell reviewed the meeting that was held at the Chamber and requested that the study
not merely focus on US 1 but on parking throughout the Riverfront.
Facade, Sign and Landscaping Grant Twelve applications were received for new signage
within the CRA district, with the grant review committee recommending initially nine be funded.
Those recommended will move forward to the CRA for final approval in January.
Mulligan's anticipated to open in early December.
US Highway 1 /Gateways Schulke has provided a preliminary cost estimate of improvements
along US 1 that would visually enhance the parking that is available. Approximately 100
parking spaces exist on US 1 between CR 512 eastbound and where North Central intersects
north of Captain Hiram's. Enhancements include stamped feature similar to the crosswalks on
Indian River Drive, and a reduction of the "no parking" signs which were intended to keep
driveways from being blocked. The landscaping "bumpouts" are slated for freshening up the
1
landscaping material. Then the next step will be to ask FDOT to lower the speed limit in this
corridor.
