THE DAVIS ISLANDS VIEW NEWSLETTER
Welcome to the September issue of the Islands View newsletter. I hope everyone had a fantastic summer and is looking forward to a great fall season. We have some great Islands events occurring in the coming months, starting with our Coastal Cleanup and Movies in the Park. Also, I wanted to encourage you to share any ideas you may have to help improve the Islands, whether it is special projects, events or general enhancements. As always have a great month and we will see you around the Islands.
ISLANDS NEWS
DI road resurfacing continues
The City of Tampa continues the resurfacing of the Islands streets, this time from the section of the Apex, south towards “Thrill Hill”. It is estimated that the work will begin in the next month or so. As many of you are aware the area south of “Thrill Hill” to South Davis was re-stripped and resurfaced last year, with bike lanes added. It is hopefully that the addition of the bike lanes will slow traffic on the West Davis corridor.
Early Bird Reminder – S.W.E.E.P Program
Start planning for the City of Tampa’s annual S.W.E.E.P program coming to the Islands – October 17-21st.
