CITY OF SOUTH MIAMI
OFFICE OF THE CITY MANAGER
M E M O R A N D U M
TO: The Honorable Mayor & Members of the City Commission
FROM: Steven Alexander
DATE: January 3, 2019
SUBJECT: Managers Report
The Parking area and drainage improvements at Palmer Park project
will commence Monday, January 7th. Project duration is
approximately 22-24 weeks until approximately June 2019. A notice
was disseminated to area residents by end of business today.
Mr. Aurelio Carmenates is the project manager.
The improvements will be conducted during a period that includes
the youth baseball season (Jan.-May 2019). This is the busiest time of
year at Palmer Park. Although this project is being completed in 2
separate phases—phase 1 south lot and phase 2 east lot—parking
will be an ongoing issue while construction is underway after 5 PM
during the weekdays and every Saturday for game day. It was
necessary to complete this project as soon as possible due to various
ongoing complications such as flooding.
