because of the new policy that it will be more important to <br />formally authorize things that we have not authorized formally in <br />the past. <br />Chairman Bird advised that he will just convey to Mr. Corrigan <br />that we will track this and watch what is happening but due to the <br />short notice, we will not attend. <br />Board Members agreed. <br />TRANSPORTATION PLANNING COMMITTEE REPORT <br />Commissioner Bowman referred the Board to the following: <br />TRANSPORTATION PLANNING COMMITTEE <br />SUMMARY OF ACTIONS <br />March 13, 1991 <br />The following is a summary of the Transportation Planning <br />Committee meeting of 3/13/91: <br />1. Presentation by Robert Brodie for Railroad Bridge over <br />CR -512; and new business corridor in Sebastian. <br />Mr. Brodie gave a presentation on his plan for a railroad <br />bridge over CR -512; and for a new business corridor west of <br />Sebastian (Gibson St./Jackson St.) <br />The committee recommended that the County Commission approve <br />funding to do an engineering study on alternatives for the <br />CR -512 project, and to determine if the CR -512 project is <br />compatible with Mr. Brodie's plan. The vote was 5-1. <br />2. Florida DOT Intrastate program. <br />It was the consensus of the committee that the County <br />Commission should be asked to write a letter to FDOT <br />requesting that SR -60 be widened to a Y -lane divided highway <br />as soon -as possible, even if they have to make it a toll <br />road to pay for the improvements. <br />In regard to the recommendation to do an engineering study on <br />alternatives for the CR 512 project, Administrator Chandler advised <br />that will be on the agenda next week. Director Davis is bringing <br />in the result of the committee meeting. <br />Commissioner Bowman then referred to writing a letter to FDOT <br />about widening SR 60 to a four -lane divided highway, even if they <br />have to make it a toll road to pay for the improvement, noting that <br />we have been asking for this for ten years. <br />Commissioner Scurlock pointed out that a toll road requires <br />setting up an Expressway Authority but Commissioner Bowman felt it <br />is an extremely dangerous road and we must do something. <br />Commissioner Scurlock was concerned about the scheduled <br />widening of SR 60 as just a temporary measure when there is a need <br />to do something permanent. <br />41 <br />LOOK C�.� FA.i,E4 cl) <br />MAR 6 1991 <br />
