Platt Boulevard Paving Project is Now Complete!

Platt Boulevard Freshly Paved

Repaving Platt Boulevard is finished!

Plantation Resort spearheaded this effort to improve the main entrance into the Deerfield Plantation Community. 30,600 square feet (close to a third of a mile) of Platt Boulevard was paved beginning from the first traffic circle near the Plantation Resort Front Desk to the second traffic circle near the Plantation Resort entrance.

Work began in March of last year when Plantation Resort paid for 7 street lights to be turned on at the Platt entrance, at the traffic circles and various turn offs along the street. 11 trees were also removed whose encroaching roots had undermined the road and caused many of the worst areas for potholes and erosion.
 
Safety was a big concern and a main motivation to pave Platt Boulevard. Because of tree root damage and years of neglect, large potholes had developed. Sides of the road had also sloughed off causing the road to narrow in places.
 
“The road was extremely unsafe, especially with cars swerving onto oncoming lanes to avoid potholes which were large enough to cause damage to vehicles” states Cathy Jameson of the Plantation Resort Property Management team.
 
Completing the project included cutting and grinding roots, laying down 2 inches of fresh asphalt, hauling in multiple dump truck loads of sand to build up the shoulders and painting lines.
 
“Platt Boulevard is not only safer but also looks fantastic!” says Rodney Brown, President of Plantation Resort.  “What a wonderful first impression not only for our guests but for the entire Deerfield Plantation Community. We are honored to be able to partner with our community and play a role in its completion.”

Contributors to the Project

All 18 Plantation Resort timeshare Home Owners Associations (HOAs), the 3 Plantation Resort residential HOAs along with Plantation Resort helped pay for the project. The owners of the road who live out of state have promised to pay a third of the cost. Deerfield Phase 1 residential HOA has contributed $12,000 to the project with other HOAs in the community expressing interest in contributing.

Hard at Work at the Beginning of the Project

The Future for Platt Boulevard

With paving complete, the focus now is on improving the landscaping at the entrance and at both traffic circles. “One day I envision a wider road with 6 foot sidewalks, curb and gutter, street lights and a beautifully landscaped thoroughfare similar to Farrow Parkway at The Market Common” says David Nelson, Plantation Resort’s Executive Vice President who helped push this project through. “I’m not sure the community is ready to take on this big of a project just yet. But if we’re going to dream, we may as well dream big!” David says smiling.
