BOX 1339 - 1053 - 20th PLACE VERO BEACH, FLORIDA - 32960 Telephone 567-5151 OFFICE OF THE MAYOR September 8, 1981 Mr. Pat Lyons, Chairman Board of County Commissioners 2145 14th Avenue Vero Beach, Florida 32960 Re: Item 9(e) on the City Council Agenda of September 1, 1981 - Discussion of dangerous situation on 16th Street - area from 20th Avenue to Old Dixie Highway - Safety Committee of the Indian River Council of PTA's Dear Pat: The City Council, after much input from concerned citizens, unanimously passed a motion to go on record as stating that 16th Street is the number one priority in the City of Vero Beach. Council further recommended that a committee comprised of representatives from the City of Vero Beach, Indian River County and the other municipalities in the County, be formed to prioritize the ten or twelve problem roads in the area that need to be addressed. Council also suggested that once the committee comes up with such a list that they should also get cost estimates. A public referendum for an additional penny gasoline tax was also discussed. This money can be used to cover as many roads on the priority list as possible. The City Council feels this item should be discussed at the joint meeting on September 14, 1981. It was pointed out that much time and money was spent on the Twin -Pairs project and we have nothing to show for it. The City Council would like to see a committee appointed to study the area and come up with a priority list before we spend more time and money on a project that might not be necessary at this time. If you or the County Commissioners have any questions concerning this item I -will be happy to discuss it with you. Very truly yours, CITY OF VERO BEACH e`rry Go Mayor TG:pn "City of Beautiful Beaches". 12
