Twenty-nine sections of Ormond Beach streets totaling about 4.12 miles of asphalt will be resurfaced this year.
On Tuesday, July 18, the Ormond Beach City Commission unanimously approved via its consent agenda the award of a $1.023 million bid to Masci General Contractor, Inc., of Port Orange, for the city’s 2023 Roadway Resurfacing project, which came in over $270,000 over budget as the city added to a 400-foot section of Rosewood Avenue and North Yonge Street near the Easy Does it Club at 266 N. Yonge St. to the list, according to a city memo.
The project would have come in over the $750,000 budget without the additional work, since the contractor bid’s without it came in at over $822,000. The excess funds for the project will come from the city’s Transportation Improvement Fund balance. The resurfacing work includes the replacement of the curb, gutter and sidewalks where the city has deemed necessary, the memo states.
Along with the segment at Rosewood Avenue and North Yonge Street, these are the roads included in this year’s project:
Residents should expect “minor, temporary traffic delays and access inconveniences associated with the construction activities of this project,” the city memo states.
The next ReGrow the Loop workshop is scheduled for 12:30 p.m. to 2 p.m. on Friday, Aug. 11, at the Ormond Beach Regional Library at 30 S. Beach St.
Keynote speaker Dr. Gail Hansen De Chapman, University of Florida’s Extension landscape architect and design specialist, will share landscape design techniques and workshop participants will learn about native plant landscapes and how natives should be arranged to best display their beauty, according to a county press release.
The county’s ReGrow the Loop initiative was created by the County Council to enhance Ormond Scenic Loop and Trail in collaboration with the UF/IFAS Extension Volusia County and other local organizations by aiming to eradicate invasive plant species, increase native vegetation, attract more wildlife and pollinators, and bring about sustainability practices.
