B. US I - DEFICIENT LINK - 49TH STREET TO 65TH <br />Director Mora discussed the link at US 1 between Aviation Boulevard and CR 510 <br />that is not funded but getting close to capacity.

Director Mora replied, "That's what we are showing currently, if we 6 -lane it, <br />yes." He felt it would be ok if we build -out in accordance with the Comp Plan. <br />Director Mora resumed his presentation discussing vested trips, capacity, and <br />percentages. He also looked at historical growth patterns, the years left until capacity is reached, <br />and responded to questions from the Board relative to those issues. <br />C.

They are estimating that the 6-laning of US 1 between Aviation Boulevard and <br />CR 510 would cost $50-$70 million dollars, and that widening is not currently scheduled or <br />funded. <br />Chairman Wheeler inquired whether, on the Federal highways like US 1, the State <br />handles that or was it Federal money.
