Dear Mr. Berkman:
THONIAS K BARRY..JR,
SECRETARY
The Florida Department of Transportation is planning to improve Commercial Boulevard from the
Turnpike entrance to N.W. 3153 Avenue. As part of this project, the median on Commercial Boulevard
will be reconfigured to conform to access management guidelines. Due to the changes in median
configurations, I recommend that the City of Tamarac delay the planned landscaping and irrigation
construction. The Department will incorporate landscape and irrigation as part of our improvement
project.
I look forward to working with you to determine the preferred landscaping theme for the project. If can
be of further service, please do not hesitate to call.
Sincerely,
Anh L. Ton, P.E.

Dear Mr. B
RE: Highway eautification Grant for State Road 870 (Commercial Boulevard)
Thank you for meeting with Anh Ton, Roadway project manager, and myself last week. As outlined
in Ahn's letter of June 16, 2000 it would be in the City's best interest to wait until the Department
has finished the roadway work prior to the starting of the landscaping/irrigation. With this
recommendation in mind I have pushed the landscaping/irrigation funding out to 2003. If for some
reason this will not.be enough time frame, the Department will be willing to extend the end date
again.
Should you have any questions, please call be at (954) 777-4219. Thank you.
