 Entrance Monuments
Venetian Isles has been awarded a matching grant from the City of St. Petersburg to replace the monuments at all 3 entrances to Venetian Isles (Overlook Drive, Montana Avenue and Mermaid Point).  The existing monuments are 10 years old and are starting to deteriorate.  Construction of the new monuments, which will require less maintenance than the current designs, will begin August, 2018.

​Overlook Drive
 As you may have noticed, the grass by the bridge on Overlook Drive is dead.  The City will be installing new sod, trimming the hedges, removing weeds and dead vegetation and replacing several green ficus plants.  Once the work is completed, we will be hiring a company to maintain the new landscaping on Overlook Drive.  The electrical project is now completed. This new service will power the irrigation system and light the palm trees with the new LED lighting.  
Grand Canal Boulevard
The annual Mangrove Trimming will be done this month (August). All the replacement plants  have been installed and fertilization was completed before the summer ban.
Several Fox tail Palms are showing stress. It is believed to be continued damage from last years Hurricane Irma. Although we replaced several palms in the fall of 2017, we will watch these additional ones and if needed replace them in the fall.
Eleven Venetian Isles street signs have been re straightened and set in concrete. Trucks, irrigation companies and the Hurricane are believed to have caused the damage.
 
Grand Canal Causeways and Bridges
The City of St. Petersburg and Duke Energy have recently completed the following work:
  • Trim sidewalk overhangs from seagrape trees
  • Repair the underground wiring between light poles (corner of Overlook Drive & Grand Canal and Massachusetts Ave South)
In addition, the following maintenance work has been requested by the Beautification Committee:
  • Replace loose / damaged bricks on bridges
  • Clean algae along the Grand Canal and Kansas Ave bridges
  • Repair damage caused by sinking bricks and cracks in the seawalls
  • Paint transformers (Point Overlook Drive and Hawaii Avenue North)
