Update & Schedule for Street Improvements From The City of Miami Beach

Dear Belle Isle Residents.

Below is an update from C I P on the renovation project which has been taking Belle Isle apart. Hopefully positive things will happen as outlined. This has been a tough project. We are all hoping that the finished product is going to be wonderful and we all want it to end asap.

Sincerely,
Belle Isle Residents Association

Herb,

FPL recently completed the installation of new duct bank and service manhole at Island Avenue South. They have demobilized and left the City's contractor with the task of repairing the bump outs damaged by their heavy equipment. The bump outs were taken out to make the changes requested by the residents, adjusted due to unforeseen conditions, and again replaced due to damage by "others". Please bear with us as we are scheduled to start repaving the street within the coming weeks. In the interim, our contractor continues to do his best to maintain traffic, signage, water down and sweep the streets at the end of each workday.

Currently, the electrical wiring for the streetlights is being installed, within the next several weeks residents can expect to see the poles being installed, the bump-outs prepared for plantings, and the street being repaved. Our goal is to have this completed within the next eight to ten weeks. The Installation of the pump station and storm drainage system will be completed while we start with the landscaping activities, and restoration of the park itself. This work within the park itself is anticipated to continue through July of 2008.

Thank you for your patience.
