6. City Manager’s Report

City Council Meeting · 2026-04-28 · agenda_item

The City of Melbourne is reviewing the Downtown Core Streetscape Project. This project is currently under review by the City Council. The project's budget for capital improvements was presented to the Downtown Melbourne CRA Advisory Committee. Concerns were raised about project costs, merchant impacts during construction, and the potential loss of other CRA projects. A motion to scale back the project and seek more public input failed. This project could involve site clearing, grading, underground utilities, paving, and streetscape elements. Contractors, suppliers, and service providers should reach out early to understand the project's direction and potential scope as plans develop.
