Project Profile:
Entryway to Clearwater Beach
Project Summary
Clearwater Beach is a popular area for enjoying the water, sand, restaurants, shops, and local entertainment. The congestion of so much traffic was improved by building a roundabout, wide sidewalks, and convenient parking areas. Grasspave2 was used to improve the wearability of grass in this high traffic area on both sides of the highway leading toward the fountain in the middle of the roundabout.

Project Gallery
View of Highway 60 traffic coming toward the roundabout. Grass is reinforced next to the street on both sides.
Fountain is located in the center of the roundabout and pedestrian areas curve following the road.
Wide sidewalks and Grasspave2 reinforced grass gives plenty of room for maintenance vehicles.
Brick paving was used at crossing points where the pedestrian traffic would be at a high level. There is a limit to what amount of daily traffic grass can withstand.
