When a button is - <br />pressed, all traffic will come to a halt and the children <br />will be able to cross without fear of through traffic and <br />turning vehicles. At the same time, it will not be necessary <br />for motorists to slow down in these areas and the capacity of <br />the roadway will remain basically the same. <br />We have had fine cooperation with you in the past and we <br />believe that a pilot program, such as this, would be beneficial <br />to the Department, the County,'and the communities involved. <br />Originally it was believed that the Department could provide all, <br />or a major portion of, the funds for this project. We have found, <br />however, that the. monies being made available to us -can be used <br />only on our primary system. We will, therefore, provide all of <br />the funds for equipment and installation of pedestrian traffic <br />signals at the following locations: <br />1. Section 88010, State Road 5 (U.S.1), <br />SLD MP 9.111, just north of Gifford Rd. <br />(Middle Seven School) <br />2. Section 88040, State Road 512, SLD MP 4.153, <br />at State Road 507 (Fellsmere School) <br />A Resolution and Maintenance Agreement must be executed by the <br />County before we can take the necessary'steps in letting and <br />awarding a contract for the installation of pedestrian signals <br />at the above locations. Six copies of each are attached. <br />The remaining school crossings are on the secondary system at the <br />following locations: <br />1. -Section 88510, State Road S-510, SLD MP 4.862, <br />at Broxton Road <br />2. Section 88560, State Road S-630, SLD MP 2.030, <br />at State,Road S-611 (Clement Street) <br />3. Section 88570, State Road S-607, SLD MP 1.929, at <br />2 Street <br />4.
