Director Davis explained this was an informational update and <br />notification to the Board that our comments are being included in <br />the plan the DOT is submitting to Tallahassee. <br />Commissioner Bowman emphasized her concern regarding Route 60 <br />and asked what we have to do to get it on their active list. <br />Director Davis had an additional comment regarding State Road <br />60. He said he had transmitted in a letter the Board's directions <br />to him at previous meetings to try to expedite State Road 60, and <br />on April 10th he had received a letter from Rick Chesser basically <br />stating they do concur with the need to widen State Road 60; they <br />have included it in the Florida Intrastate Highway System Plan; and <br />they have been taking steps to provide funds for preliminary <br />engineering, environmental assessment and right-of-way acquisition <br />in their current work program, so they are considering it at this <br />time. They also addressed our comment regarding toll funding and <br />stated that traffic volumes may be low to finance a toll facility, <br />and federal and state primary roadway policy is to continue <br />existing urban and rural arterials without tolls. <br />Discussion continued on the need for widening State Road 60 <br />and Director Davis reported that the widening project, which covers <br />12.7 miles through the St. John's Marsh area, is going out to bid. <br />INDIAN RIVER BOULEVARD PHASE III <br />The Board reviewed memo from Capital Projects Manager Thompson <br />dated April 5, 1991: <br />55 <br />
