SECTIONIMPROVEMENTS PUBLIC TITLE FUND PROJECTS: OTHER Capital Project: Medians and Entryways Lighting and Landscaping
DESCRIPTION This budget item provides funding for median landscaping on currently non-landscaped roadway medians within the Town.
PURPOSE/DISCUSSION The Town currently has a backlog of non-landscaped medians within the Town. These include (but are not limited to) Mainstreet from Chambers Road to Bradbury Ranch Drive, Jordan Road from Mainstreet to Bradbury Parkway, Jordan Road from Cedar Gulch Parkway to Bradbury Parkway and Twenty Mile Road from Pony Express Drive to Bar CCC Park. Town Council previously provided direction that the next unfinished median to receive landscaping is the Lincoln Avenue median between Keystone Boulevard and Jordan Road. The concrete work to accommodate planned improvements on Lincoln Avenue was completed in the first half of 2019 and the landscaping will follow. A water source for this location will need to be acquired from the Stonegate Village Metropolitan District (SVMD) to support this median landscaping. Over the past several years, the Town has received complaints from residents relating to the unfinished median. It is an entry point into the Town’s incorporated boundary on Lincoln Avenue from the west.
