Lakeshore Boulevard, Brinson Park and Neptune Road Improvements

Lakeshore Boulevard, Brinson Park and Neptune Road Improvements

This CMAR project was a continuation of the Kissimmee Lakefront Park Improvements completed by Burkhardt Construction in 2015. The project included complete improvements of three-acre Brinson Park, as well as a streetscape and linear park along Lakeshore Boulevard which connects the two parks. It also included beautification of Neptune Road. The Brinson Park improvements included a new restroom building, pervious paver brick parking lots, landscaping, irrigation, lighting and furnishings. Lakeshore Boulevard utility improvements incorporated replacement of storm drainage, water, sanitary sewer, and force main. Approximately 600 feet of seawall was rebuilt along the lake. Beautification elements included new brick roadway, new sidewalks, updated landscaping, irrigation, and lighting. The new sidewalks are wider and designed to be used by both pedestrians and bicyclists. The sidewalk path includes brick paver seating areas with binoculars to look over Lake Toho and signage describing local history and wildlife. Neptune Road was beautified as well, with center median improvements and a new mast arm traffic signal at Lakeshore and Neptune. Approximately 1,900 linear feet of Neptune Road was milled and resurfaced.  A final aspect of the project was the construction of a Veterans Memorial at Kissimmee Lakefront Park. The memorial features brick pavers, pillars for each of the five branches of the military and multiple plaques. Construction of this sizeable project was completed on time and under budget.
