TO: Stan Boling, <br />Chief, Current Development Section <br />FROM: James W. Davis, P.E., <br />Public Works Director <br />SUBJECT: Jungle Trail Relocation Plans as Submitted <br />by McQueen and Associates <br />DATE: June 26, 1989 <br />In reviewing the proposed realignment geometry for Jungle Trail, <br />the Public Works Department staff has determined that the <br />realignment will meet the geometric intent of the trail to serve <br />{ latge citrus trucks and grove traffic based on the following <br />condition: <br />Where minimum 120' radii and other horizontal curves are <br />proposed, the roadway should be widened to 20' minimum. The <br />typical cross section shows only an 18' roadway width. <br />In some locations, the existing sections of Jungle Trail will be <br />geometrically less adequate than the proposed realignment. <br />•-_ • ivy :. <br />HISTORIC r' CC;�MNN,ry - <br />C 'LCPMENT DEPT. w <br />PROPERTY <br />ASSOCIATES�ll016� <br />L°'� • <br />June 23, 1989 <br />�• <br />Historic preservation consultants Mrs. Millie Bunnell <br />Indian River County Historical Society <br />p.O.
