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. 18
