Island for a price of $100,000 even, $15,000 of which is being <br />absorbed by the City and $85,000 by the ,County. The plan at _ <br />this time is to provide signs along Royal Palm Blvd and route the _ <br />traffic along 26th St. to U.S.I and then from U.S.I, they could <br />come back along 30th Street to the Country Club; so, getting _ <br />there from the south end is not that difficult. The problem <br />that comes up leaving the Club to go south on U.S.I is the <br />visibility problem caused by the barrier rail on the bridge at <br />U.S.1 just before Marvin Gardens, which makes it very difficult _ <br />to see on -coming traffic until your vehicle is right at the edge <br />of the driving lane; so, they looked at routing the traffic on <br />13th Avenue which is a gravel road through a residential area, <br />over to 33rd St. primarily because of some other visibility <br />problems. Mr. McQueen continued that in addition to this <br />traffic plan, they were tentatively thinking about soliciting an <br />off-duty policeman for certain hours of the day, but did not know <br />how DOT would respond to that. <br />Discussion ensued regarding the need for more than one <br />policeman, and the Chairman wondered if there is any possibility <br />of the DOT considering a temporary traffic light. <br />Engineer McQueen noted that it is very difficult to get the <br />DOT to move on anything without a full blown study. He advised <br />that he was hopeful that the road would only have to be closed <br />for 45 days rather than 60 or 90. <br />Commissioner Bird inquired if it is out of the realm of <br />possibility to put in a Bailey bridge, and Engineer McQueen <br />believed a Bailey Bridge could be used if one were available. <br />This is about a 120' span, and a Bailey bridge can be assembled <br />within a few hours. He noted that quite a few counties do keep <br />such bridges on hand. <br />Discussion re the cost or possibility of leasing a Bailey <br />bridge ensued, and Public Works Director Davis stated that he <br />could inquire about this, but felt it would delay the project <br />until after the peak of the summer. <br />JUN 311987 43 BOOK �J E.a,,r 6 <br />L <br />
