result of the update effort is a 74 -page revised Wabasso Corridor plan that contains updated data, new action items, and appendices containing reference information including a history of Wabasso and West Wabasso. Wabasso Corridor and West Wabasso Actions Based on priorities that emerged from the 2016/2017 community meetings and based on the data and analysis reflected in the updated Wabasso Corridor Plan, a list of actions for the entire Wabasso Corridor (WC) and a list of specific actions for West Wabasso (WW) were developed. As structured, there are 18 action items relating to major issues and topics identified during community meetings. Following is the list of the corridor plan major topic areas: 1. Infrastructure 2. Communication 3. Land Use/Zoning/Development 4. Community Identity Each action identifies a specific activity to be completed, a responsible party or parties, and a completion date (year). Responsible parties identified in the action plan include the Planning Division, the Public Works Department, the Parks Division, and the Metropolitan Planning Organization (MPO). During plan preparation, planning staff coordinated with the responsible county divisions/departments to ensure that identified actions are appropriate, are financially feasible, and have realistic implementation timeframes. A separate list of action items is contained in attachment #2. Several action items will require implementation and capital expenditures at various times over the next several years. Those actions include the following: 1. By 2019, acquire right-of-way and design eastbound right turn lane on CR 510 at 58th Avenue (estimated cost: $50,000) 2. By 2019, construction of east bound right turn lane at CR 510 at 58th Avenue (estimated cost: $200,000) 3. By 2018, evaluate drainage needs in the Lowes Park and Douglas Subdivisions, identify solutions and improvements, and present information to BCC (estimated cost if project is approved: $400,000) 4. By 2018, evaluate available right-of-way along 64th Avenue; if right-of-way is available, extend sidewalk along 64`h Avenue to the West Wabasso Park (estimated cost: $500,000) 5. By 2019, refurbish the walking trail and improve the access point to the adjacent Wabasso Scrub Conservation area within the West Wabasso Park (estimated cost: $100,000). If the corridor plan is approved, Community Development staff will coordinate implementation of the action items (see attachment #3).
