Background:
This project will reconstruct the entrance to the Sweetwater Preserve trailhead off of Waldo Road. Runoff from the entrance road and the intersection of SW 16th ST and Waldo Road runs onto the site and is discharged into Sweetwater Branch without any water quality treatment. The runoff has also caused erosion where it is discharged in the Preserve that is causing the existing storm sewer to fail. The reconstruction will also provide better parking for the Preserve. The new stormwater system will provide water quality treatment using Low Impact Design (LID) stormwater management and stop the erosion problem. The LID features will consist of two biofiltration areas and pervious pavers for the parking stalls.
The requested action is just a reallocation of unencumbered stormwater funds to the project.
The County has also received a grant from the Florida Department of Environmental Protection that will reimburse $186,500 of construction costs. The City of Gainesville, through Wild Spaces Public Places, has offered an inter-local agreement to contribute $18,244.08 to cover the costs of widening of the existing sidewalk and the speed table striped as a crosswalk. These will be used as part of a future multi-use trail planned by Wild Spaces Public Places. A total of $204,744.08 will be reimbursed to the County that will be used for other water quality projects.
