2. It makes full use of a facility (U.S. 1) already in existence <br />without additional construction. <br />3. It gives the motels, filling stations, restaurarts and other <br />businesses which are ready and able to give the traveling public service <br />on Miracle Nile, the benefit of a portion of the I 95 traffic. <br />4. As pointed out by County Commissioner Dritenbas at the DOT hearing <br />of January 14, 1971, the route we propose is three (3) miles shorter than the <br />S.R. 6d - I 95 to Zal.abar route so it is good for the traveling public. <br />The permanent portion of our proposal is this: <br />Zi!r t v€ 4raffio sLwiles indicate that 20th 'Place and hiracle bile <br />will not, hand le the traffi,c.on a 2—wR.y basis, make 20th Place and 20th. Street <br />one=way for Southbound traffic ard, by im;urovirg 21st Street from the FRC RR <br />tracks to St. Heler's corner, use Xtracle :file and 21st Street for Forthbound <br />traffic. <br />There would have to be a street improvement made between 21st Street and <br />20th Place alorg Commerce Avenue to take care of Southbound U.S. 1 traffic to <br />20th elgce at 50 Xinute Cleaner's corner. There yrould have to be an interchange <br />at the Standard Oil intersection. <br />• <br />Only that portion of 21st Street from 15th Avenue Drart Furniture corner) to <br />St. Melee's correr would need major improvemert. 'Therefore the length is <br />considerably less than the 19th Place route (0.4 mile compared to 1.0 miles). <br />Also this proposRl would tend to anchor the main business district of Vero <br />Beach (13th, 14th, and 15th Avenues between 20th and 21st Streets) between <br />two improved traffic arteries that will rot by ehRrged_ard will—cartirue.-to- <br />contribute business over'manv veers. The main difficulty in this proposal <br />is the necesGity of an irtercharge at 21st Street and Commerce Avenue <br />(Standard Oil Station at west end of Dfiracle Mile). <br />It seems to our group that if you, as the Courty Commission support one <br />.specific proposal, the Dppartmert of Transoortation is much more apt to.do <br />what is good for Vero Beach business as well as the taxpayer and the <br />traveling public. <br />Sfagatam Robert C.
