Title
Discuss Eddy Mann Wall Aesthetic Improvement Program Findings And Proposed Pilot Project #2.
Body
BACKGROUND:
An initial Eddy Mann Wall Pilot Program was completed along Rosemeade Parkway west of Kelly Boulevard. The wall improvement consisted of a pigmented sprayed limestone coating articulated to appear similar to natural stone on the existing Eddy Mann wall.
On July 9, 2019 staff presented findings of the completed wall improvements along Kelly Boulevard to the Redevelopment Sub-committee. The findings concluded that the sprayed limestone treatment was unsustainable for Eddy Mann walls.
A second pilot program site is now proposed along Kelly Boulevard, north of PGBT. Staff will present recommendations from the Redevelopment Sub-Committee regarding the Eddy Mann aesthetic improvement pilot program and second site.
FINANCIAL IMPLICATIONS:
Project finance originates from Capital Improvement Program funds.
IMPACT ON COMMUNITY SUSTAINABILITY:
There may be improved appearance of Eddy Mann walls along this section of Kelly Boulevard.
STAFF RECOMMENDATION/ACTION DESIRED:
No action.
