Master Re-Landscaping Plan Completed in 2009

In June of 2006, the City Commission approved a Master Re-Landscaping Plan to address all areas of the City's landscaping damaged by Hurricane Wilma. Due to the magnitude of the project, it was segmented into three phases, implemented over a three year period. The priority areas: I, II and III were ranked based upon severity of damage, exposure, damage to the berms, proximity, and feasibility of project development and estimated cost.

PRIORITY I was completed in September 2007 within the budgeted amount of $2,224,988 and targeted 22,100 linear feet (4.2 miles) in the following four areas:

• Weston Road between Royal Palm Boulevard and Indian Trace (west side)
• Indian Trace between Bonaventure Boulevard and Saddle Club Road (north then east sides)
• Bonaventure Boulevard between Indian Trace and Town Center (east side)
• South Post Road between Bonaventure Boulevard to "The Ridges" along the north side, and a section on the south side from Emerald Estates Drive west toward “The Ridges”

PRIORITY II was completed in September 2008 within the budgeted amount of $1,778,416. It targeted 30,650 linear feet (5.8 miles) in the following five areas:

• Glades Parkway between Saddle Club Road and Savannah (west side)
• Glades Parkway from Glades Circle to Gator Run (west side)
• Saddle Club Road between Royal Palm Boulevard and South Post Road (north and south sides)
• Those portions of Country Isles and Three Village with moderate or greater damage, within the area bordered by Indian Trace, Weston Road, Royal Palm Boulevard, and Bonaventure Boulevard
• State Road 84 from Indian Trace west to Glades Parkway

PRIORITY III was completed in 2009. This was the final phase and included the following remaining areas of the city:

• Approximately 63,000 lf (13 miles) of areas designated as moderate to total damage;
• Approximately 196,500 lf (37 miles) of areas designated as minor damage.

The Master Re-Landscaping Plan utilized native species and drought tolerant materials that will better withstand South Florida's elements. The design buffers residential areas from the view and sound of traffic and serves as visually aesthetic landscape and we thank our residents for their patience throughout the replanting period.
