Channelside Drive Small Park - Project
As part of $ 8.1M - Phase B Channel District Improvements Projects, that includes construction within nine (9) street segments in the Channel District Redevelopment Area, Right of Way upgrades to walks and pavements, streetscape, utility work and District wide furniture replacement; we completed a small park located across from both the Port Tampa Bay Cruise Terminal 3 and The Florida Aquarium. The park provides residents of the districts a place to walk with their dogs, it also provides cruise ship visitors a place to relax before boarding. The small park includes landscape, shade sails and furnishing that complement the overall design of the area. Project Name:

Pay By Plate Program Signage Installation
This month Kimmins and the City of Tampa Parking Division completed the installation/replacement of approximately 106 new Pay by Plate signs. This system services multiple vehicles and allows customers to pay for parking using a smart phone or mobile device without needing to interact with a pay station. The City of Tampa currently offers four (4) different mobile payment apps for customers to utilize that can be found on the Apple App Store or Google Play Store. This installation is part of the CRA Channel District Improvement projects.
