Chandler, <br />County Administrator <br />FROM: James W. Davis, P.E. „\ <br />Public Works Director �J <br />SUBJECT: Recommended Transportation Improvement Projects <br />for FY 93/94 through FY98/99 - <br />Florida DOT Five Year Work Program <br />DATE: September 15, 1992 FILE: dot5yr.agn <br />DESCRIPTION AND CONDITIONS <br />The Florida Department of Transportation is in the process of <br />preparing the Five Year Transportation Improvement Program for <br />FY93/94 through 98/99. Attached is a prioritized list of <br />projects recommended by staff for consideration: <br />1) Projects already included in the FY92/93 Work Program such <br />as Merrill Barber Bridge Replacement, 27th Avenue <br />Widening/Resurfacing, Closed -Loop Traffic Signal US1 <br />Project, South AlA Improvement, City of Vero Beach Airport <br />Perimeter Road, and all other projects already programmed <br />will continue to be included. <br />2) In the City of Vero Beach, a project should be initiated to <br />construct improvements to the 20th Street/ US1 intersection. <br />Due to the recent construction of the SR60 Twin Pairs <br />Project, US1 Southbound traffic cannot turn onto the SR60 <br />eastbound leg along 20th Street due to insufficient left <br />turn laneage. <br />3) Construction of intersection improvements at 17th Street/USI <br />and 4th Street/US1 should be programmed as a result of the <br />DOT studies recently completed for those locations. <br />4) 'Revise and consolidate Projects 4115422 (SR5/US1 - FEC <br />Railroad Management to Plan Grade Separation) and Project <br />4115434 (SR5/US1 widening from 41st Street to 53rd Street) <br />into a new project to widen US1 from 53rd Street to 4th <br />Street, including a Railroad Management/Grade Separation <br />Study. Project priority 2) above is within this same <br />corridor, but a critical widening need exists at 20th <br />Street/US1 at this time. Drainage in the area north of 37th <br />Street is a major concern. Also, signalization at US1 and <br />10th Avenue and 10th Avenue and SR60 should be considered. <br />5) Last year, a project to study Indian River Boulevard between <br />19th Street and the new Merrill Barber Bridge alignment was <br />programmed. This project should be implemented. <br />51 <br />' f= <br />
