The FDOT will pay for most of the costs.

The City Commission has approved a project to renovate the medians along Granada Boulevard with new landscaping. The proposed project includes the replacement of the plantings within the existing medians from Orchard Street to State Road A1A, except for the recently completed landscaping between Washington Street and Beach Street, according to city documents. The next step will be for city staff to send the project out for bids.

The project also includes both sides of Granada Boulevard and all four Granada Bridge slopes.

The estimated cost for this project is approximately $975,500, but the FDOT will reimburse the city $950,000, through a joint participation agreement. The city will pay an additional $50,000 for necessary modifications to the irrigation system.

The planting design includes medjool date palms, hollies, crape myrtles, cabbage palms, assorted shrubs and flowering ground covers.
