Comprehensive Plan Transportation Element relative crash rates were 21St Street at 8th Avenue with 6.25 crashes per Million Entering Vehicles (MEV) and 21St Street at 5th Ave (4.37 crashes per MEV). In 2005, there were 1,522 crashes and 32 fatalities on Indian River County's roadways. That corresponds to a rate of approximately one crash per 2,800 vehicle miles traveled. In per capita terms, the 1,522 crashes resulted in a rate of .012. Approximately 2% of all crashes in 2005 resulted in a fatality. 2030 Long Range Transportation Plan In 2005, the MPO completed its 2030 Long Range Transportation Plan (LRTP) update. As was the case in previous plans, the MPO identified both future deficiencies on the road network and a cost affordable set of improvements needed to accommodate future demand. According to the 2030 LRTP, the vast majority of roadways are expected to operate at LOS "D" or better in 2030, with the majority actually operating at LOS `B" or above. A small number of roadways, however, are expected to operate below LOS "D." These are shown on Table 4.7 and include Indian River Boulevard (Merrill Barber Bridge — Royal Palm Point); SR AIA (17th Street — Vero Beach City Limits); parts of US 1 in the City of Sebastian and in the City of Vero Beach; and the Wabasso Causeway. In the course of developing the 2030 LRTP update, the MPO identified roadway projects that were underway or expected to be completed within five years of adoption of the LRTP. These projects, known as committed roadway projects, were added to the inventory of existing roadway projects in Indian River County to form the Existing plus Committed (E+C) roadway network. The E+C roadway network can be found in Table 1 and in Figure 4.2, while proposed new roadway improvement projects can be found in Figure 4.8. In the 2030 Cost Feasible Plan, major planned roadway improvements include the widening of SR 60 (82nd Avenue — 98th Avenue); the construction of 58th Avenue (Oslo Road to Koblegard Road in St. Lucie County); the construction of 82"d Avenue (26th Street to Laconia Street and south of Oslo Road to St. Lucie County); the widening of 66th Avenue (Barber Street to St. Lucie County); the widening of USI (Roseland Road to Brevard County, CR 510 to Aviation Boulevard, and Oslo Road to St. Lucie County); and the extension of Aviation Boulevard (US 1 to Indian River Boulevard).
