Ocean Terrace Park and Streetscape Improvements Project
The purpose of this Letter to Commission is to provide information to the Mayor and City
Commission regarding the start of construction activities for the Ocean Terrace Park and
Streetscape Improvements Project (Project) and to provide an overview of the scope of work
to be perfo rmed.
The Project obtained approval of the building permit and the permit was issued on September
11, 2023. In accordance with the Developer's Agreement, the contractor has 60 days after
obtaining a full building permit to mobilize and commence construction activities. The
Developer has informed the City that they are fully engaged with their contractor, Recreati onal
Design and Construction and that they are targeting commencement of construction for the
week of October 9, 2023. City staff will issue a project advisory to the community ahead of
construction activities, once a more spe cific commencement date is established.
The construction duration is approximately 12 months, with completion scheduled in the Fall
of 2024. The project will improve the City right-of-way on 73rd, 74th, and 75t h Streets and
transform Ocean Terrace between 73 rd and 75th Streets into a city park with pedestrian
promenade and a beach drop-off area at the 73rd Street end. The project includes the
construction of pedestrian pathways, storm drainage, hardscape, landscaping, irrigation,
lighting, signage and pavement markings, bike lane, water features, pavilion open air
structure, beachwalk and beach access.
The construction will be phased to allow continuous access to the adjacent businesses
as well as for pedestrian traffic between 73rd and 75th Street. The existing beachwalk will
experience detours and alternate routes while the new beachwalk is being constructed.
The Developer conducted one-on-one meetings with the stakeholders in the immediate
project area to announce the upcoming construction as well as to coordinate continued
access for their patrons.
The Office of Capital Improvement Projects will observe and review the progress of the
construction of the Project until its completion. Every effort will be made to coordinate with
all stakeholders throughout the duration of the Project.
