City Manager's Update Sept. 17, 2025

IN THE WORKS

MAIN STREET ARCH: A ribbon-cutting ceremony is set for 9 a.m. Friday, Oct. 3 to celebrate the completion of the Main Street Arch restoration project. The nearly 90-year-old landmark, which has connected the boardwalk and pier since the 1930s, underwent a more than $800,000 restoration funded by the Community Redevelopment Agency (CRA) to preserve its historic character and strengthen its structure. Crews repaired steel and concrete, restored stonework and stucco and added finishing touches such as a new front sign and epoxy-coated handrails. Residents and visitors are invited to attend the ceremony and mark the return of this iconic piece of Daytona Beach history.

PROJECT COMPLETE

BOARDWALK BEACH ACCESS STAIRS: Work on the project is moving forward, with materials for the ramps recently arriving on site. Ramp construction is expected to begin next week. In addition, the city received the required Volusia County Beach and Dune permit for seawall work at Breakers Park, allowing that portion of the project to move ahead. Remaining work includes construction of the ramps, stairs and seawall, as well as dune mitigation to ensure long- term stability and environmental protection. CYPRESS PARK PLAYGROUND: The installation of new playground and outdoor fitness equipment is nearly complete. The playground will feature swings, slides and a climbing structure designed for children ages 2 to 12. Once the equipment installation is finished, crews will add a fall zone surface to ensure safety and accessibility for users. This project is funded by a grant from the Racing & Recreational Facilities District. SEABREEZE BRIDGE MAINTENANCE: At the request of City Commissioner Stacy Cantu, FDOT crews are in the process of pressure washing the Seabreeze Bridge. Work began on the west end and will make its way over to the east side of both spans of the high-level bridges.
