ADDENDUM  35.

COMMITTEE MEMORANDUM

TO: Finance and Citywide Projects Committee Members


FROM:
Commissioner Ricky Arriola


DATE: July 27, 2018


SUBJECT:DISCUSS INSTALLING AN ARTISTIC SHADE STRUCTURE OVER RUE VENDOME.

CONCLUSION:
The City of Coral Gables recently unveiled the "Umbrella Sky Project," which now hovers over its newly renovated Giralda Plaza streetscape. The installation was designed by Sextafeira, a creative agency, with the purpose of producing shade over public spaces during the summer months to encourage more pedestrian activity. 

I ask for the City Commission to explore adding an artistic shade structure over Rue Vendome, so the plaza can be better activated during the day. I am also open to exploring other locations throughout the City of Miami Beach.
