<br />Streets with bikepaths and landscaping, as well as the <br />rd <br />prohibition of large trucks on 43 Avenue. <br /> <br />rd <br /> Chairman Ginn stated that she would like to see the intersection at SR-60 and 43 Avenue <br />expanded so that it would work more smoothly, but did not want to purchase right-of-way from the <br />Mobil Station or Lenny’s Bar. She expressed her desire for a 3-lane project with a center turn-lane <br />and with acceleration and deceleration lanes. She also believed it was important to get additional <br />ththth <br />roads paved to provide other options for traffic; such as 66 south of SR-60; 13 Street SW, 4 <br />th <br />Street and 8 Street. She also noted that she had no reports of any successful Bert Harris lawsuits. <br /> She expressed the highest regard for staff and stated that the Board puts them through a lot and <br />then tosses out their ideas, but staff is used to that. She felt it was time to let developers know that <br />the County will act to reduce traffic. <br /> <br /> Commissioner Neuberger commented that he has a lot of faith in the engineers but will go <br />along with a 3-laning project if that is what is wanted. He emphasized that government is always <br />playing catch-up with road improvements and stated that he had been through this same <br />th <br />circumstance. He lived on 20 Street, a block off SR-60, and was there when SR-60 was divided <br />into the twin pairs. <br /> <br /> Public Works Director Jim Davis commented that acceleration lanes are designed for high <br />rd <br />speed roadways and would not work on 43 Avenue. Deceleration lanes are appropriate at major <br />intersections. He continued that the County is not the only entity that uses the “level of service” <br />tables. The City of Vero Beach, the Florida Department of Transportation and the Treasure Coast <br />Regional Planning Council use the same tables. Regardless of what staff recommends, there will be <br />rd <br />other layers of review and 3-laning 43 Avenue would not obtain a classification of more than 2 <br />lanes, which will not meet concurrency. <br /> <br />MAY 17, 2004 <br />11 <br /> <br />SPECIAL MEETING <br /> <br />
