y Lora Ammons speaking for a group of the Winter Beach area, appeared reqesting use of the Pleasant Ridge School for physical exercise purposes. Mrs. Ammons was told to prepare plans and submit a copy to the Board. Commissioner Mccullers, Commissioner Massey and Attorney Paul D. Burch were appointed as a Committee to receive plans for the use of Pleasant Ridge School Building. Robert Ramsdell, appearing in behalf of the Miracle Mile Meretaants submitted the -following -proposal: s January 19, 1971 To: The County Commission Indian River Countv Vero Beach, Florida From: the .Miracle Mile Business Owners Vero Beach, Florida Subject: Completion of S.R. 60 and the Rerouting of I 95 traffic At a meeting of the I4iracle Mile and U.S. 1 business owners at The Courtesy House on Horday, January 11, 1971, the following resolution was passed: BE,IT RESOLVED - 1. That the Department of Transportation expedite the completion of both lanes of S.A. 60 .with all pressure possible on the contractor including the application of all cor';ract'penalty provisions. 2. That the Department of 'Transportation, i- nediately, b -r means of changirg directional signs, route Northbound I 95 traffic to continue on U.S. 1 and iIiracle :dile to the rorth where, at some poirt deemed advisable by thF Depa.rtmFnt of Transportation, it would be routed over presently adequate roads back to 195 - Fellsmere, 'Jabas4o, .4alabar etc. 3. That the Department of Transportation install signs including the words "Auto Route" at the intersection of 3.R. 60 and Rarch Road and at U.S. 1 and Oslo Road and all siPns shcrrirg route into Vero Beach. Also that there be installed signs ircludirg the words "Food, Lodging, Fuel". ( Resolution sigred by 22 .4iracle Mile business owrers. ) Above is the temporary plan. At presert all I 95 and S.R. 60 traffic goes either arourd the truck route by-pass or east and veston2Cth Street and 20th Place end contributes a very small a°nourt of business to ary Vero Beach businesses (actuall.y only between 20th Place and the South City Limits on U.S. 1 ). At present most of this business -generating traffic is of no value to Vero Beach. Tliis r elution reflects our opinion that a ^ere matter of chargirg several signs,,reroute about 50% of traffic from and to I 95 is good for the followirg rPa-ors: 1. RPmovira the 'Torthbourd half of I 95 traffic will relieve several corgested areas on the presert route et the Irdian River Ci`rus Bark, the Florida East Const RR crus^irg, thr Florida First "atioral �ank and the Royal Castle Corner. y{ y JAN 2",
