Davis, P.E <br />Public Works Director <br />DESCRIPTION AND CONDITIONS <br />SUBJECT: Widening of .8th Street Railroad <br />czQ6 4ag - FEC Agreement and <br />Resolution,Authorizing Execution <br />REFERENCES: R.W. Fondren, FEC to <br />Michelle Terry dated 6-26-84 <br />The Indian River County Road Improvement Program (5 year plan) <br />included $120,000 for the 8th Street construction between U.S. <br />1 and 6th Avenue. The following is a breakdown of costs applicable <br />to the project, to this date: <br />Project Budget $120,000 <br />Relocate City Pole -41,000 <br />Limerock base -18,000 <br />Culverts & Structures - 5,000 <br />Asphalt -18,000 <br />Subtotal- Balance uncommitted $38,000 <br />Signalization costs of the U.S. 1/8th Street intersection <br />and improvements to the western approach is estimated to cost <br />$ 5,517. <br />The County staff has designed an extension of an eastbound <br />left turn lane at the west approach of the 8th Street/US 1 <br />intersection. Application was made to the FEC to widen the <br />Railroad crossing to 3 lanes to accomodate this lane. The FEC <br />has estimated this cost to be $27,743. 1 <br />ALTERNATIVES AND ANALYSIS <br />To provide for left turn signal phasing at the U.S. 1/8th <br />Street intersection, a proper left turn lane extending west of <br />the railroad is required. The other alternatives would be to <br />construct a shorter substandard left turn lane that would store <br />a maximum of four vehicles. At the present time, vehicles are <br />using the roadway shoulder for right turns. <br />23 <br />JUL 18 1984 a�oK 5°7 PAGE `7-36 <br />I <br />
