W. 3 1 " Avenue F.M Number 228174-1-52-01 Broward County 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.

BARRY, JR, SECRETARY City of Tamarac 7525 N.W. 88th Avenue Tamarac, Fl. 333 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.
