Background: The Floresta Drive Improvement Project is four (4) miles of roadway that was split into three (3) phases due to funding availability. The Phase 2 project includes roadway, landscaping, pedestrian & street lighting, sidewalks, and dedicated bicycle lanes. The project also includes a new pedestrian bridge crossing the Elkcam Waterway and new roundabouts at Polynesian Avenue and Bywood Lane. There are stormwater treatment ponds at Lake Thornhill and Walters Terrace.
Amendments 6 & 7 were each (and combined) within the City Manager’s approval authority under City Code of Ordinances, Section 35.09(b), and therefore, were not brought before Council. However, the amount added in Amendment #8 requires Council approval under section 35.09(c), and therefore, staff is asking Council to ratify the previous amendments and approve the most recent.

a) COR #040 for added irrigation electrical service.
b) COR #041 for relocation of pedestrian signals at Crosstown.
