14. COMMISSIONER ITEMS <br />14.A. COMMISSIONER WESLEY S. DAVIS, CHAIRMAN - NONE <br />14.B. COMMISSIONER .JOSEPH E. FLESCHER, VICE CHAIRMAN - NONE <br />14. C. COMMISSIONER GARY C. WHEELER <br />14. C.1. DISCUSSION REGARDING INDIAN RIVER COUNTY ROAD <br />IMPROVEMENTS PROJECTS (NO BACK-UP) <br />(Clerk's Note: This Item was heard prior to Item 13.B. and is placed here for <br />continuity.) <br />Commissioner Wheeler felt it necessary to re-evaluate the transportation goals and <br />objectives due to the current economy. He felt that the monies being spent to 4 -lane and eventually <br />6 -lane 66th Avenue might better be spent to pave some of the east/west roads to 82nd Avenue. He <br />also felt the right- of -way on 66th Avenue was a little ambitious to put a 6 -lane highway when there <br />is a 4 -lane on US 1. Commissioner Wheeler wanted to re-evaluate 27th, 43rd, and the east/west <br />roads for the current population, rather than reaching into the future and planning a 6 -lane highway <br />for something that may not be required for years. <br />Discussion ensued as to when and how Commissioner Wheeler wanted to go <br />through the process. <br />25 <br />April 14, 2009 <br />
