Project Description:
Beach park improvements including boardwalk, landscaping, renovation of bathrooms, reconfigure existing inadequate parking and create additional parking.
Services Provided/Benefit to State:
The main benefit is improvement to Annes Beach park which is adjacent to U.S. 1 and is a highly visible state owned park. As one of the few beaches in the Upper Keys, tourist and residents use this part heavily. Proposed improvements to the boardwalk will repair worn sections as well as provide accessibility to disable park patrons. Currently the park is in poor condition. Parking is inadequate and cars often park on the grass and right-of-ways areas.The asphalted parking areas are deteriorating and washing into the ocean. There is no landscaping at the park enterance and the bathroom facilities are deteriorated and an eyesore. Improvements would make the facilities more palatable to park visitors. Landscaping would improve the appearance of the park as well as provide retention areas for stormwater runoff. The existing park will be reconfigured to eliminate and re-direct stormwater run-off into landscaped areas preventing pollution to the ocean and new parking areas created will enable orderly and adequate parking for visitors enhancing the safety and attractiveness of the park.
Measurable Outcome Anticipated:
Completion of all improvements at one park, including boardwalk, landscaping, renovation of bathrooms and installation and improvement of park areas. This project will provide much needed aesthetic improvements for park patrons and motorist on US 1.
