(residential/commercial) zoning to take some trips off the roads. He also believed we have <br />capacity and just needed to do a better job of moving traffic to other roads. <br />Vice Chair Bowden felt these communities do not want gridlock on the roads and <br />they needed to make wise choices and stick to them. <br />Commissioner Flescher was thankful for the presentation. He talked about the need <br />for work and the lack of funding and would rather see creativity instead of CRALLS. He also <br />talked about roundabouts and roadway management systems he experienced on some of his travels <br />abroad and the need for us to look at creativity. He agreed with Commissioner Davis that we <br />needed to look at the Comprehensive Plan to see where creativity can take the load off US 1. <br />Chairman Wheeler agreed that they could look at more ways of utilizing Old Dixie <br />Highway. He asked how we could go about making connectivity with development into an <br />Ordinance. <br />Director Keating said they could work at that and come back to the Board with some <br />suggestions. Chairman Wheeler presented scenarios of how connectivity is important. <br />Director Keating suggested looking at this from two perspectives, short term and <br />long term. He outlined three (3) short-term options/actions that could be taken, namely: (1) they <br />could go to CRALLS and there would be a solution but that would not satisfy everyone; (2) they <br />could pursue the 6 -lanes, work harder on doing developer's agreements and see if they could get <br />something in place quickly; or (3) not do anything and let concurrency kick in. For the long term it <br />would be great looking at other alternatives, to study alternative land use scenarios and see what <br />they could do, as well as conduct a detailed corridor analysis looking at Old Dixie and looking at <br />alternative facilities. <br />February 9, 2007 16 <br />Public Workshop <br />
