r <br />. • 7 <br />BOOK 8 p NAGE i 142 <br />(4) Louisiana St. could be widened -between "old 512" and "new 512 <br />and would provide excellant access to the commerical district <br />thus created. <br />(5) All traffic from 512 would enter U.S.#1 at a blind <br />intersection and the problem of oncoming traffic would be <br />eliminated. <br />Our second preference is the twin pair concept. <br />The worst senario, in our opinion, would be to have 4 lanes on <br />existing CR 512. The several curves would still be there, the <br />dangerous FEC Railroad crossing and US # 1 intersection would be <br />compounded and the cost of acquiring additional right-of-way and <br />the disposition of the large lake East of the Town Star <br />Convenience store would be horrendous! Our elected officials are <br />the caretakers of our ' taxdol lars and we% feel' that this <br />additional, and unnecessary, expense to the taxpayers would be <br /><inexcusable! <br />We have a hard time understanding why a few people'':have <br />consistently taken a position of opposing either putting all four <br />lanes on the Railroad R/W or the twin pairs concept. To our <br />knowledge, none of these people making statements to the press <br />and at public meetings own any property in the impacted area. <br />None of the businesses in this area depend on transient <br />customers. All are geared to local customers. <br />. We have more travelers stopping at <br />. directions, maps and occasionally to <br />our Real Estate office for <br />inquire about property. <br />:.Never the less, we definitely support the twin pairs 'over'4 <br />-laning existing CR 512. We have sat in on public hearings <br />regarding•CR 512 and we applauded the action of Sebastian City <br />Council when they adopted Resolution No. R-88-77. CR 512 has been <br />bandied around since 1984. Construction costs are going up every <br />-year. Let's get on with it before we are'all too old to use -it! <br />R' a d 0.' L rt <br />P Pat H.., Lambert <br />Mike Dudeck of Engineering pointed out that if the split <br />pair design is not used, the old alignment would result in the <br />road terminating right in the middle of the Indian River <br />Drive/riverfront project. The split pair design would divert <br />that traffic and give more flexibility in developing the <br />river -front project. <br />14 <br />
