JAN 2 2 1966 BOOK 63 F,,r-373 <br />Commissioner Bird raised the matter of the ditch that cuts <br />through Rockridge Subdivision. Apparently it creates silt at the <br />delta to the river and people in that subdivision cannot get <br />their boats out. He wondered if the DOT could assume some of the" <br />responsibility for dredging the delta, and Mr. Fowler said that <br />they would look into this with Director Davis. <br />Commissioner Bird asked if there were any plans in the . <br />future to improve the SR -60 corridor from 1-95 to the west coast, <br />and Mr. Fowler advised that they would look at that if the Board <br />considers it a need. He noted that it is possible to make that a <br />toll road. <br />Administrator Wright asked when the toll is expected to be <br />taken off the Turnpike, and Mr. Henderson believed it would be <br />sometime in 2010. <br />Further discussion led to the plans for a high-speed rail <br />system coming up the coast, and Mr. Fowler suggested that the <br />county participate in those plans as the DOT would not be allowed <br />to make the final decision. Chairman Scurlock stated that he and <br />Commissioner Wodtke planned to attend tomorrow's meeting in Palm <br />Beach, and Mr. Fowler suggested that the Commissioners get a copy <br />of the proposal. <br />Mr. Fowler advised that within two weeks they would be <br />sending a tentative 5 -year work program to the Commissioners for <br />their comments. <br />Chairman Scurlock thanked the gentlemen for coming today. <br />Commissioner Wodtke temporarily left the meeting at 10:50 <br />o'clock A.M. <br />45 <br />
