"Who struck John," but to take the action needed so the extension to 27th can get built as quickly as possible. Joseph Theriault, 659 SW 20th PI., noted that he arrived at the meeting late and this may have been addressed, but the map in the Press Journal described an interesting situation where it is proposed to build a road parallel to an existing road and the only thing separating them is a canal. He believed we then will have 2 roads, and we don't need 2. If we simply could cross the canal, we would have an existing road that could be developed out to 27th Avenue, and they could also connect up to 20th Avenue. He felt that would solve the traffic problem and cost less money. Mr. Theriault believed the people in Oslo Park are overestimating their traffic problem because all the traffic on Highlands Drive will not be going out on 20th Avenue. Now, the Highlands has only one entrance with everybody going through it, but the more exits you have, the more the traffic volume is spread out. Commissioner Eggert informed Mr. Theriault that it was noted earlier that both extensions were included on the Transportation Plan. Mr. Theriault wished to know if it would not be less expensive to cross the canal and pave the existing road, but Director Davis explained that to pave the existing road north of the canal, we would have to relocate the sublateral canal to the south or purchase more R/W. It is cheaper the way it is proposed. Kenneth Henry, 1075 24th PI. SW, president of Vero Beach Highlands Property Owners Assoc., wished to set the record straight. He believed the map presented is incorrect because 17th Lane is south of the canal and 17th Street is to the north of the canal. Director Davis confirmed that there has been some confusion in that regard, and the fact is that in order to keep consistency up in the county, we would like the new road called 17th St. SW MAY 2 3 1989 27 BOOK '76 4
