would like to ask the DOT to reconsider the Wabasso Bridge. He then discussed right-of-way requirements and did not know how technical they are supposed to be on these things. Commissioner Wodtke felt that within three to four weeks, they will have enough data to come up with a recommendation. Administrator Nelson asked if a Resolution was needed on improvement of 17th Street on the west side of U.S.1. Commissioner Wodtke noted that this improvement had been proposed previously, and bids were taken on putting an enlarged culvert under U.S. 1. _The State felt the bids came in too high; this was resubmitted and rebid and came in even higher the second time. Commissioner Wodtke felt we need to get back to the DOT on -this matter and request that they do the project and pay for it as they originally were to have done. He noted that we need turning lanes. On Motion by Commissioner Wodtke, seconded by Commissioner Scurlock, the Board unanimously authorized the Chairman and the Administrator to contact the DOT, requesting them to reconsider their decision not to proceed with the proposed improvements at the intersection of 17th Street and U.S.1; request that they either rebid it or accept the original proposal if it is still available; and indicate to the DOT that the County would be willing to work with them in any way possible to complete what is hoped will be improvements not only in this intersection but 16th Street as well.
