4 Adopt-A-Road Program Program resurrected in FY2010. Select divided roadways, with unimproved medians, have trash picked up six times a year by volunteer groups. City provides a sign acknowledging their efforts, as well as trash bags, rubber gloves, and safety vest. Collected trash is bagged by the volunteer group, and picked up by the city for proper disposal.

5 Median Mowing Mowing and general clean up is performed along all unimproved medians throughout the city, except those maintained by the lot mowing program. Retention ponds, and sod around select sidewalks are also maintained by this program. Length of medians maintained 94 miles Number of crews Two four-man crews spring through fall One two-man crew in the winter Number of retention ponds maintained 20

6 This program fills potholes throughout the city, and assists in some minor asphalt related repairs. Centerline length of twolane roads in Cape Coral: 1,236 miles Centerline length of multi-lane roads in Cape Coral: 158 miles Number of lane miles of roads in Cape Coral: 3,111 lane miles 2 pothole trucks with a 2 man crew Tons of asphalt laid per week: 5 tons per truck Pothole Repairs

7 This program fills in the drop off edges of roads throughout the City. Some unpaved parking or travel areas are also maintained by this program. One five-man crew Dispatched multiple times per month tons of base rock spread per month. Road Shoulder Repairs

8 This program provides tree trimming in all non professionally landscaped/maintained medians, cul-de-sacs, and city right-of-ways. This crew also removes vegetation interfering with regulatory signs, fire hydrants, catch basins, street signs, and any other obstructions impacting the safety of motor vehicles or the travelling public. Tree Trimming

9 Bridge Maintenance This program performs cleaning and sealing of expansion joints, mowing/spraying around guardrails, repairing damaged guardrails, graffiti removal, sidewalk maintenance, replacing hardware on railings, trash/vegetation removal, structural repairs, etc. Bridges with spans of over 20 feet are inspected biannually by FDOT. Reports are provided to the City with repair recommendations. Bridges with spans under 20 feet are the responsibility of the City to inspect. Number of bridges in the City of Cape Coral: 157 Number of bridges in Cape Coral inspected by FDOT: 101

10 Median and ROW Trash Removal Medians and public right-ofways have trash removed on an as needed basis. One crew uses a grapple truck for removing large items, and another crew picks up smaller items while dispatched from a pick up truck. Civicall action items and code enforcement requests account for the majority of work dispatched. Trash on private property is not picked up, unless it is relocated to the public right-of-way. Grappler truck: One two-man crew Pick-up truck: One two-man crew

11 This program installs sidewalks throughout the City, for safer pedestrian foot traffic, making schools more accessible, and connecting neighborhoods to commercial districts. An eight-man crew performs all site preparation, form work, driveway replacements, concrete pouring, sod installation, and ensures that all projects are ADA compliant. This eight man crew also performs select repairs to existing sidewalks and concrete curbing throughout the City. All sidewalk projects in 2012 are grant funded from a variety of different sources. Sidewalk Installation

12 Signing and Striping Program Sign technicians install, maintain, and replace all regulatory, guide and warning signs throughout the City in the public right of way. The striping crew installs and refreshes all pavement markings (e.g. lane lines, symbols, arrows, etc.) throughout the City in paint (in summer months) and thermoplastic (in winter months). They use a combination of walk-behind spray applicators and the striping truck.

14 Catch Basin Program This program maintains 22,000 basins located throughout the City and are maintained on a yearly schedule to comply N.P.D.E.S. under the clean water act. They also respond to citizen s requests to replace damaged metal grates, basin lids, catch basin repairs due to accidents, install new inlets where necessary, and remove vegetation.

15 Drainpipe Replacement Program This program performs the repair, replacement and modification of existing underground stormwater drainage systems throughout the City. The pipe crews will replace approximately 15,000 linear feet of decayed and unserviceable pipe per year. 31% of the City pipe is 40+ year old corroded metal pipe and needs to be replaced.

16 Flotsam, Weirs, Excavators Weir maintenance is needed to maintain unimpeded flow in the canals. Removing debris keeps the canals healthy. This crew cleans up fish kills during cold snaps, maintains canal name signs on seawalls, and builds/maintains gravel boat ramps throughout the city. The long reach excavator is used to clean drainage ditches throughout the city, and performs spot dredging as needed. Crews also empty blue barrels and monofilament collection stations that the public fills with debris.

17 Drainage Management Program This program utilizes an inspector who responds to citizen concerns involving drainage problems. After initial evaluation a survey team will establish proper elevations. The team will profile and stake the project for our swale grading crew to correct the flooding problem.

18 Swale Program This program performs swale restoration to alleviate flooding issues from developed properties, and to re-establish grades on an as-needed basis; thus allowing the proper movement and treatment of storm water with infiltration as mandated by National Pollutant Discharge Elimination System (N.P.D.E.S.) permit.

19 Canal Dredging Program This program is responsible for maintaining over 400 miles of fresh and saltwater canal systems within the City. Dredging is performed in order to maintain a navigable condition for the safe movement of boats and provide ecologically sound conditions. The dredge operates in the center of the canal and does not come within 20 feet of seawall.

20 This program is our first line of defense against pollution in our waterways. It has been implemented pick up debris on curbed and guttered streets, bike lanes, parking lots, and alleys within the City. Street sweeping helps prevent silt from building up in the canals, and beautifies areas in the sweeping program. Since April 2011, this program is now being performed by outside contractors on the City s behalf. Sweeping Program

21 Vacuum Truck Program This program maintains the underground stormwater drainage system after installation. Two vacuum trucks are deployed for removing sand, vegetation, tree roots and other debris from the drainage network.
