I BOOK 81 FADE417 7 SR 60, they should be designated from 1.2th Street to a point north of SR 60 so that appropriate transitions can be accommo- dated and the intersection can operate properly. Discussion continued at length in regard to the intersec- tion., the transition needed, and the possible need to modify'the bridge. Director Davis emphasized that we cannot leave the existing bridge in its present g.eometry and have a substandard transition into the intersection. After further discussion regarding the bridge, Commissioner! Scurlock believed we are hearing that the improvement needs to be made to have sound traffic engineering, and the question is who pays for it. Commissioner Bird felt the question is what is fair and reasonable to put on this developer. Chairman Eggert wished to know if the cost of a bridge is included in the improvements shown on the Intersection Improve- ments chart contained in staff's memo. Director Davis advised that the 1.5 million which is programmed for improvements to 43rd Avenue from 12th Street to 26th Street could probably include one bridge if you changed that, as the developer is requesting, to read 1143rd Avenue from 12th Street to a point 1,000' north of SR 60." Mr. Marsicano did not disagree with Director Davis' comments in regard to having the lanes line up at the intersection, but stressed that they do not want to be led into widening a bridge that is not necessary or can be avoided if possible. They do clearly understand, and he will say for the record that the lane - age must Line up and meet established criteria. Discussion continued with Director Davis explaining what has to be done at the 43rd Avenue intersection and stressing that we do not want to be bound by language that terminates the widening at SR 60. He preferred language that would state: 1143rd Avenue from 12th Street to a point 1,000' north of SR 60 to accommodate the intersection improvements." 38
