help, connecting with Kobelgard Road which is dirt all the way, to look at a realignment, look at <br />alternative routes and traffic calming buffers, and have public information meetings. He thought it <br />would take 120 days and staff has no problem with getting an independent to look at this. It might <br />be helpful in this situation and bring out some ideas that have not been thought of. <br />th <br />Commissioner Adams inquired if this would include looking at 27 Avenue also, <br />and Commissioner Macht stated that the charge to the consultant would be to look at traffic from <br />thth <br />20 Avenue out to 66 Avenue. <br />There was discussion and Vice Chairman Neuberger agreed with the concept, but <br />asked if Mr. Mora had looked at this. <br />Traffic Engineer Chris Mora responded that one of the big advantages of having an <br />independent consultant is he could pull information from St. Lucie County about which we are <br />unaware. There are two large DRI developments happening south of our county line, Indrio Road <br />Crossings and a Visions DRI. These are very large projects. One is at I-95 and Indrio Road , the <br />other is actually going to be on Kobelgard Road. Staff feels that with those developments coming, <br />those roads will not remain unpaved for very long. <br />th <br />Vice Chairman Neuberger inquired about our plan to continue 58Avenue, and <br />Public Works Director James Davis replied that during the budget process the Board considered <br />Fund 109 and the Traffic Impact Fee District funds and within those funds there is money <br />th <br />budgeted for paving Kings Highway between Oslo Road and 25 Street SW. Survey work is <br />budgeted and staff has done considerable work on other scenarios in following the Board’s <br />direction. <br />Commissioner Lowther took issue with the information and the program brought <br />rdth <br />forward by staff and the planning to widen 43 Avenue just to 8 Street. He thought the planning <br />should have been gone to the south county line. <br />th <br />Director Davis noted that staff was using the MPO chart which delineated the 8 <br />thrd <br />Street to 26 Street section of 43 Avenue. That plan was developed on computer modeling in the <br />1990s. Staff has been working on the project for several years; the stormwater ponds are built. <br /> <br />August 10, 2004 <br />38 <br /> <br />
