BUT WHEN THE TIME COMES, WE WILL HAVE ACCESS TO OTHER FUNDS. SHE POINTED OUT THAT INDIAN RIVER BOULEVARD WILL BE BIG ENOUGH THAT IT MAY REQUIRE BONDS. COMMISSIONER LYONS BELIEVED WE WILL HAVE TO HANDLE INDIAN RIVER BOULEVARD AS IT GOES, AND HE FELT WE SHOULD PROCEED ON 6TH AVENUE. ASSISTANT ADMINISTRATOR NELSON COMMENTED THAT WE ARE GOING TO HAVE TO UPDATE THE TRAFFIC SIGNALIZATION AT THAT PARTICULAR INTER- SECTION BECAUSE IT WAS ONLY A "T" INTERSECTION AT THE TIME OF APPROVAL. COMMISSIONER LYONS STATED THAT HE WOULD LIKE TO HANDLE THAT SEPARATELY. THE CHAIRMAN CALLED FOR THE QUESTION. IT WAS VOTED ON AND CARRIED WITH COMMISSIONER WODTKE VOTING IN OPPOSITION. COMMISSIONER LYONS STATED THAT HE WOULD LIKE TO MAKE A MOTION THAT WE CLOSE THE INTERSECTION OF 6TH AVENUE AND U.S. 1 AT THE TIME WE ARE ABLE TO OPEN 8TH STREET FROM 6TH AVENUE TO U.S. I AS A SATISFACTORY SUBSTITUTE. ATTORNEY COLLINS NOTED THAT THERE IS A STATUTORY PROCEEDING FOR THE CLOSING OF ROADS AND IT MIGHT BE MORE TIMELY TO WAIT FOR THE OPENING OF 8TH STREET PRIOR TO THE CLOSING OF 6TH AVENUE. COMMISSIONER LYONS COMMENTED THAT HE IS ONLY DOING THIS TO PUT EVERYONE ON PUBLIC NOTICE THAT WHEN 8TH STREET IS OPENED, 6TH AVENUE WILL BE CLOSED. MOTION WAS MADE BY COMMISSIONER LYONS, SECONDED BY COMMIS- SIONER Loy, THAT IT IS THE INTENTION OF THE BOARD OF COUNTY COMMIS- SIONERS TO CLOSE THE INTERSECTION AT 6TH AVENUE AND U.S. I WHEN THE NEW ROAD BETWEEN 6TH AVENUE AND U.S. I AT 8TH STREET IS OPEN FOR TRAFFIC. COMMISSIONER WODTKE ASKED IF IT WILL ELIMINATE ALL THE PROCEDURE IF WE JUST ANNOUNCE THAT 6TH AVENUE WILL DEAD END AT THAT PARTICULAR SPOT. HE FELT WE ARE NOT REALLY CLOSING 6TH AVENUE, ATTORNEY COLLINS DID NOT FEEL THERE IS ANY SUBSTANTIAL DIFFERENCE. all J U L 3 0 1990 ma 44 `pecX45 I
