| | PLAN NEED TO BE CONSISTENT WITH EACH OTHER AND THERE |

| | ADDITIONAL COMMENTS 4/24/17: |
| | |
| | 6. THE CITY IS FOCUSING ON PROVIDING MORE SHADE IN |
| | PEDESTRIAN AND BIKE MOBILITY AREAS, ESPECIALLY |
| | DOWNTOWN, TO PROMOTE WALKABILITY AND A PLEASANT URBAN |
| | ENVIRONMENT. |

| | MEET THE NEW STREETSCAPE STANDARDS PASSED BY CITY |
| | COMMISSION ON APRIL 27, 2017. |
| | ? ADD DIFFERENT SPECIES IN THE MIX OF STREET TREES TO |
| | PROVIDE MORE CONTINUOUS SHADE CANOPY THAN THE GUMBO |
| | LIMBOS ALONE. |
| | ? ADD SHADE TREES ALONG FLAGLER IN ADDITION TO THE |
| | ROYAL PALMS, PLACING THEM IN BETWEEN THE ROYALS WITH |
| | TREE GRATES ADJACENT TO THE CURB. THIS WILL SUPPLY |
| | SHADE FOR THE SIDEWALK WHILE MAINTAINING THE THEME OF |
| | ROYAL PALMS. |
| | |
| | 7. THE PLANTING AREAS WILL BE EXPANDED IN THE BULB OUTS |
| | ALONG BANYAN PER ENGINEERING COMMENTS. PLEASE REVISE |
| | STREET TREE PLACEMENT AND SHRUB PLANTING ACCORDINGLY. |
