Fr_ <br />SEP 1 <br />TRANSPORTATION PLANNING COMMITTEE_- SUMMARY OF ACTIONS <br />Commissioner Bowman read aloud the following summary of <br />actions: <br />TRANSPORTATION PLANNING COMMITTEE <br />SUMMARY OF ACTIONS <br />September 11, 1991 <br />The following is a summary of actions of the Transportation <br />Planning Committee meeting of 9/11/91: <br />1. CR -512 Update <br />After hearing that the Cityiof Sebastian rejected the twin <br />pairs project as "an. -`option for the eastern portion of <br />CR -512, and we are basically back to a study phase, the <br />committee member`s unanimously recommended to the Board of <br />County Commissioners- that- -they put the western portion on <br />hold until there is an acceptable plan for the eastern <br />portion. <br />IJWD:aw - <br />Ixc: Jim Davis <br />Commissioner Scurlock felt it is time for this Commission to <br />either go ahead and build the twin -pair project that is our staff <br />and consultant's recommendation or go ahead and abandon that and <br />defer to the wishes of the Sebastian City Council. As for <br />further studies, he didn't believe any study would ever convince <br />the City Council that the twin pair project would be the best <br />approach. <br />Public Works Director Jim Davis reported that he spoke <br />informally to the City staff and they are considering the concept <br />of building two 2 -way roads that would work similar to Royal Palm <br />Boulevard and Royal Palm Place here in Vero Beach. He noted <br />that traffic projections indicate that within 3 years we will be <br />at the Level of Service D capacity, which would trigger a look at <br />further development in that area. The Sebastian City Council <br />recently voted not to support the twin -pairs project and not to <br />include it in the study. The TPC are in favor of going ahead <br />with the twin -pairs project because it is the best approach <br />economically. They want to get going on it. <br />32 <br />
