Sir Francis Drake Boulevard Median Replanting

closed

The Sir Francis Drake Boulevard (SFDB) Median Trees & Entryway Replanting project started construction in July 2023. The initial scope of the Upgrade The Drake project included landscape improvements only to areas directly affected by the street improvements. With the benefit of additional funds from County Service Area 17 (CSA 17), the scope of the project was expanded to include new planting in all the center medians in the corridor within the area of work, as well as improvements at key entryways. The median landscaping for the Upgrade The Drake project was placed on hold due to the drought and mandatory water use restrictions that were in place in 2021 and into 2022. Also due to increased costs affected by inflation and budgetary limitations, the planting scope of the current replanting project has been simplified to only include new trees within the center medians, with the ability to add shrubs and groundcover plantings in the future, if funding allows.
