 Pathway
for Quality of Life
Objective
Quality of life efforts are essential to create sustainability in any
neighborhood and the City of Orlando’s Department of Public Works along
with the City’s Economic Development Department is leading the efforts
to enhance and enrich the Parramore Heritage Neighborhood.
Strategic Initiative
- Ensure public parks and green space in
Parramore are in balance with the rest of the City of Orlando
- Initiate construction of Phase I of
the new Parramore Heritage Park
- Create transit circulator connections
and strategy to accommodate residents and workers as a part of The
Downtown Transportation Study
Announced Tuesday, June 14
The Parramore Heritage Park includes a neighborhood park and a
centralized facility for the collection of stormwater for the
anticipated development within a sub-basin of the Parramore
neighborhood. This project not only provides incentive for
redevelopment, but it will also serve as a neighborhood park for the
residents of Parramore.
 The
Orlando-Orange County Expressway Authority has agreed to restore, with
additional streetscape improvements, Z.L. Reilly Park on the 700-block
of Parramore Avenue as improvements are made to State Road 408.
The Orlando City Council approved $2.2 million from the CRA to be used
for the Division Streetscape enhancement project. Division Avenue will
be retrofitted with decorative roadway material enhanced between Church
Street with decorative sidewalks, improvements to intersections, street
trees and historic style streetlights. This project is now on track and
is scheduled to begin the first quarter of 2006.
