Major Planned Spending Decrease in Utilities, Street/Sidewalks/Streetscape and Street Lighting

Planned spending decreased by 68.7% to $91.8 million in the Utilities business area.

The largest deferred projects include the Lakeview ($41 million) and Normandy Shores ($29.1 million) neighborhoods.

The Street / Sidewalks / Streetscape category and Street Lighting also declined by 13.9% and 83.4% respectively, for the same reason.

Nearly $300 Million Investment in Drainage Improvements

Miami Beach has four notable projects. One is valued at nearly $300 million, and three are valued at more than $25 million. The largest single project is the proposed drainage improvements for the Normandy Isle neighborhood and landscaping improvements throughout the community, worth $292 million under the Streets/Sidewalks/Streetscape business area.
