Recommendations

  • Revise the current City deployment of traditional elements in areas of

identified opportunity in favor of Citywide large self watering planters at high impact intersections

  • Continue deployment of materials on historic main street areas to allow

beautification within the space limitations

  • Add traditional streetscape elements in 2 newly identified business

districts.

  • Discontinue current deployment of barrels from private businesses.
  • Offer surplus barrels and baskets to Sustainability and Recreation for

Community gardens and camps.

  • Operating costs will be monitored in 2017 with any savings being

redirected to gateway beautification in 2018 aligning with future gateway master plan.
