W. Siebert, Jr., Chairman <br />•\ <br />"�� <br />Indian River County Commission <br />i;tj <br />'ourthouse <br />Vero Beach, Florida <br />Dear Mr. Siebert: <br />At the school board meeting of October 11, <br />1976, the safety of students <br />walking on 16th Avenue from 16th Street to <br />12th Street was discussed. The <br />board took official action to request the <br />County Commissioners to provide <br />a bicycle path or walkway from the county <br />line to the Vero Beach Elementary <br />School faculty driveway. The board is also <br />requesting the City of Vero <br />Beach to establish a bicycle path from the <br />Vero Beach Senior High School <br />parking lot to the end of the city limits <br />on the west side of the ditch <br />which is on the west side of 16th Avenue. <br />The bicycle path is badly needed in this area because of the heavy traffic <br />on 16th Avenue during the time students are going to and from school. Your <br />favorable consideration of this request will be appreciated. <br />Yours very truly, <br />William H. McClure <br />Superintendent <br />WHMJgm <br />cc: Mr. Jack Jennings <br />n <br />ADMINISTRATOR JENNINGS NOTED THAT THIS IS A COMBINED REQUEST <br />OF BOTH THE CITY OF VERO BEACH AND THE COUNTY, AND INFORMED THE BOARD <br />THAT THE CITY ENGINEER HAS MADE UP A SKETCH AND ESTIMATED $9,00 A RUNNING <br />FOOT FOR A 6' WIDE BICYCLE PATH, THE COUNTY'S PORTION OF THIS PROJECT <br />WOULD BE APPROXIMATELY 1,314 LINEAL FEET, ADMINISTRATOR JENNINGS CON- <br />TINUED THAT THE CITY'S ESTIMATE IS BASED ON A 4" COMPACTED LIMEROCK BASE <br />AND 1" TYPE Z ASPHALT, AND HE STATED THAT WHILE THIS IS FIRST CLASS <br />CONSTRUCTION, IT IS VERY EXPENSIVE AND HE DOES NOT FEEL IT IS NECESSARY, <br />HE NOTED THAT THE CITY INTENDS TO TIE ONTO THE EXISTING BICYCLE PATH <br />AND RUN IT TO THE CITY LIMITS, THE ADMINISTRATOR SUGGESTED NEGOTIATING <br />A SEPARATE CONTRACT FOR THE COUNTY'S PORTION OF THE PATH. <br />IN DISCUSSION, THE BOARD FELT WE SHOULD INDICATE THAT WE WILL <br />36 <br />NOV 3 19 76 27 a 183 . <br />
