<br />LRTP was retained with a few exceptions. There are also some additions including 6-laning US#1 <br />ththrd <br />from 26 Street to CR-510; 4-laning 58 Avenue (from SR 60 to 53 Street); and an extension of <br />Laconia Street. There are also updates to bike paths and sidewalks. He gave highlights on the <br />Transit Development Plan (TDP) that included service to Fellsmere, possible service on SR 60 to <br />the CVS/Outlet Mall area, and a new regional route to the south for use by inter-county <br />commuters. He gave an overview of other changes and listed the assumptions used in the <br />projections. Text has been changed to support the table and map information. He also reviewed <br />thrd <br />existing improvements, in particular, the widening of 27 and 43 Avenues. He recounted the <br />actions taken by the Board with regard to changing the levels of service (LOS) on those two roads. <br />thrd <br />He explained the proposal is to 4-lane 27 Avenue from Oslo Road to SR-60 and 4-lane 43 <br />th <br />Avenue from Oslo Road to 16 Street. Staff believes these can be built in narrower typical <br />sections by using active drainage, reducing the right-of-way, burying underground power lines, <br />etcetera. This should enable us to not have to continually drop LOS, restore our LOS once this is <br />in the capital program, and not depend on St. Lucie County as they currently have other demands. <br />Capital Projects Manager Terry Rauth advised that Carter & Associates worked with <br />staff to come up with three typical sections for an 80’ constrained right-of-way. She displayed the <br />drawings, described the different options, and compared them to what the Board saw months ago. <br />The options showed different configurations for the median, bike spaces, sidewalks, and grass <br />areas. All options are showing a temporary 10’ construction easement in order to re-grade behind <br />rd <br />the sidewalk and transition to the residences and their driveways. In addition, 43 Avenue would <br />th <br />be lowered to reduce the impact. Survey work and design has not been done for the 27 Avenue <br />project. <br />In response to Chairman Neuberger, Ms. Rauth advised that staff will have a workshop <br />with the residents regarding the turn lanes, impacts to their properties, and get input on their <br />preferred options. She continued that the County actually has enough right-of-way in some areas <br />thrd <br />for right-turn lanes. There will be left turn lanes on 27 and 43 Avenues more buffers and turn <br />lanes. In some areas we already have enough right of way. <br />May 2, 2006 <br />26 <br /> <br />
