As a result of work completed by the Burns Square Property Owners with Urban Planner Bill Dennis, a request for SurTax funding was presented to the City Commission on July 17th, 2007 for a roundabout at the intersection of Orange & Pineapple Avenues. The presentation not only pointed out what a wonderful idea the roundabout was but included an opportunity to have synergy with the County's storm water project that starts in April 2008.
A rather comical exchange took place about the whimsical photoshop "Carmen Miranda Fountain" probably costing Burns Square $200,000 less in funding, going from $1,000,000 down to $800,000. We are happy with the $800,000 and feel confident the completion of the roundabout can be achieved and will bring great improvements over the current layout, design and appearance. With or without Carmen Miranda!
