MAR 71989 <br />BOOK 76 FAH 33? <br />PROPOSED TRAFFIC SIGNAL REMOVAL - 87TH ST. & U.S.1 (WABASSO) <br />Director Davis reviewed the following, noting that DOT is <br />requesting we take a formal position on this: <br />TO: James E. Chandler, <br />County Administrator <br />THROUGH: James W. Davis, P.E., <br />Public Works Director <br />FROM: David B. Cox, <br />Traffic Engineering Manager <br />SUBJECT: Proposed Traffic Signal Removal at 87th Street and US 1 <br />DATE: February 27, 1989 <br />DESCRIPTION AND CONDITIONS <br />FDOT is proposing to remove the entire traffic light at US 1 and <br />87th Street in Wabasso. The procedure for the removal is outlined <br />in the attached letter of Jan. 9, 1989 from the District Traffic <br />Operations Engineer. <br />In February, 1989, the Wabasso Post Office completed moving from <br />87th Street to their new location on the southeast corner of 81st <br />Street and US 1. <br />ALTERNATIVES AND ANALYSIS <br />FDOT is requesting written comment from the County prior to <br />putting the signal into flashing mode for 90 days. If approved, <br />staff would issue a news release to notify motorists of the start <br />of the flash period. If any significant problems occurred during <br />the 90 days on flash, the light could easily be returned to <br />normal operation. <br />RECOMMENDATION <br />The Transportation Planning Committee approved removal of <br />the light at their February 8, 1989 meeting. Staff recommends <br />putting the light into flash at this time in accordance with the <br />FDOT plan, and approve its removal. <br />MOTION WAS MADE by Commissioner Eggert, SECONDED by <br />Commissioner Bird, to approve putting said light into <br />flash at this time per the FDOT plan and to approve <br />its removal as recommended by staff. <br />37 <br />
