Director Mora, through a PowerPoint Presentation (copy on file), introduced some <br />of the topics for discussion, namely: Concurrency (the near -capacity link, US 1 between 49th Street <br />and 65th Street); the proposed 6 -lane widening of US 1; parallel facilities (and if there are any <br />parallel roadways in the area that could possibly provide some relief to US 1); and developer's <br />agreements that have been proposed to do the widening. <br />Director Mora presented a brief history of US 1, which goes back to 1914 when it <br />was originally planned as part of the Dixie Highway system. He saw US 1 as an integral part of the <br />County's transportation plan, and outlined some of the current projects on US 1 costing $41.6 <br />million. <br />Commissioner Davis wanted to know the amount of dollars in local funds (of the <br />22.5 million project) or whether it was an all -State project. Director Mora said it was State <br />funding. <br />Director Mora continued, discussing different projects and their worth. He also <br />discussed Short Range Projects (costing approximately $22.6 million) on US 1, and Long Range <br />Projects, which are not funded but would be needed at some point in the future (at a cost of <br />approximately $100 million). He also outlined the various locations for the long-range projects. <br />Director Mora responded to questions from the Board regarding how long a range <br />encompassed the long-range projects. He stated that it was between 2011 and 2020 for one project <br />and 2020 and 2030 for the others. <br />February 9, 2007 2 <br />Public Workshop <br />
