The 150' foot wide right-of-way alignment <br />begins at the current south terminus of the Boulevard and <br />projects southerly west of Fairlane Harbor Mobile Home Park to a <br />proposed bridge spanning 'the 14th Street canal, then curves <br />westerly to an alignment west of and adjacent to the Range line <br />(between Range 39 East and Range 40 East) until reaching a <br />point of curvature having a centerline radius of 572.96 feet, <br />thence curving westerly to an intersection with U.S. Highway 1 <br />at 4th Street. _ <br />Plans of the proposed alignment including connecting <br />roadways are located at the Board of County Commissioners <br />`office area at the first floor of the County Administration <br />Building. <br />ALTERNATIVES AND ANALYSIS <br />The above described alignment accomplishes the following <br />objectives <br />1) Avoids the construction in environmentally sensitive <br />areas <br />2) Utilizes an existing corridor free from structures <br />and avoids property owner relocation. <br />3) Provides a geometrically smooth alignment which would <br />result in an operating speed of 45 mph. <br />4) Avoids the division of individual parcels which would <br />render land unusable. - <br />5) allows connections to already established east/west <br />collector roadways (12th St, 8th St, and 4th St.) <br />which are included on the County's Thoroughfare Plan. <br />82 <br />APR 10 E85 <br />BOOK 60 PAGE 513 <br />
