Numerous intersection improvements, secondary road mprovements <br />and marginal access provisions along arterial routes. <br />7) Additional 2 lane bridge capacity to serve the North Barrier s <br />Island. A detailed Enviromnental Impact Statement & Engineering <br />study should be initiated to determine the exact location and <br />cost of the new bridge. <br />The most critical traffic congestion problem projected for Indian <br />River County over the next 20 years is U.S. 1. The Florida <br />D.O.T., which has primary responsibility for U.S. 1, should under- <br />take a detailed evaluation of the future needs within the U.S. 1 <br />corridor. <br />4. Recaumnded projects <br />A following is a breakdown of the 95 projects recamiended: <br />Miles of Road- Estimated Capital <br />way Lmrovements Costs <br />TOTAL NEW ROADWAY PROJECTS 24.0 $46,151 <br />TOTAL FOR WIDENING PROJECTS 30.5 37,893 <br />NEW INTERSECTIONS 10,770 <br />TOTAL FOR SECONDARY IMPROVEMENTS 105.1. 36,378 <br />TOTAL CAPITAL IMPROVEMENT PROGRAM 159.6 $131,192 <br />To implement these projects, a 20 year capital improvement Program needs <br />to be adopted with construction programmed in 4 five year stages. <br />5. Implementation <br />Implementation of the 20 year plan will be under the guidance of <br />the Transportation Planning Ca mittee as it now exists. Raiding' <br />mechanisms such as gas tax revenues, import fees, user fees and general <br />taxes would apply. <br />The Florida D.O.T. District 4 office would be an important implementing <br />agency and carmmication on the long range goals should begin immediately <br />after adoption. <br />Close conmmication with St. Lucie County needs to be ongoing so <br />that future growth in that County, as we71 as Brevard County, does not <br />detract fran plan objectives. <br />6 <br />r � � <br />
