He opposed the <br />abandonment of 86th Street because he felt it would be damaging to interconnectivity. <br />Discussion ensued regarding the safety of the angled intersections which connect to <br />CR510, its proposed widening project, and vacant properties that could be developed. <br />Commissioner Wheeler reiterated his position with interconnectivity and believed <br />intersections in residential and commercial areas help to slow down and calm traffic. <br />Commissioner Solari wanted to know if there was anything that could make 87th Street <br />more user-friendly for the neighborhood. Director Davis explained that when development starts <br />along 87th Street, the developer would be required to widen the road. <br />20 <br />August 18, 2009 <br />
