COUNTY ROAD 512 IMPROVEMENTS <br />Public Works Director Jim Davis referred to the preliminary <br />drawings of the project that begins at the southwest corner of <br />town, just west of Roseland Road and goes from the existing <br />two-lane road to a 4 -lane divided highway, which will be expandable <br />to 6 lanes. Phase one of the project is to construct a divided <br />4 -lane, median -type roadway that will progress northeasterly to a <br />point where the County purchased the old railroad right-of-way <br />that goes through Sebastian. Back in the mid 1980s when the <br />opportunity arose to purchase that railroad right-of-way, the <br />County paid $300,000 for a 100 -ft. wide corridor which transverses <br />all the way through the Highlands community. There is approximately <br />two and a half miles of corridor, and only a short section, <br />roughly 4,000 feet, lies in the controversial area in the portion <br />where it actually splits from the road right-of-way. Most of <br />that railroad r/w is alongside the existing CR -512 r/w except in <br />the eastern area. There is a very narrow strip of utility r/w <br />owned by GDU, but we would have to go to court for that, and it <br />is so narrow it really isn't usable. The City of Sebastian <br />adopted a resolution in 1988 supporting the project, including <br />the split pair design. The County then began to negotiate with <br />the FEC with regard to.getting a new crossing. We are at a point <br />now where the railroad is amenable to giving a new crossing if <br />the County gives up the Bay Street crossing and the 87th Street <br />crossing. Those negotiations are in the final stages, and <br />although we prefer not to give up any railroad crossings, it <br />appears that we must do so. Basically, the engineering is done, <br />and we already have sent out a request for proposal for getting a <br />portion of the pavement done. County staff feels comfortable <br />that the split design is the most effective way to provide a <br />4 -lane highway at this time and the ability to expand it to a <br />6 -Fane facility in the future. The two intersections on U.S. #1 <br />would be <br />tied together with synchronization. <br />Director <br />Davis <br />DEC <br />51990 <br />9 <br />BOOK. <br />PAL 101 <br />
