Four actions with 2017 due dates that are in progress are listed below with reasons why they are not yet implemented and are assigned with new completion due dates. "Action 7.3 — By 2017, the County Public Works Department will repair, connect, and construct the sidewalk along 45th Street, from 43rd Avenue to U.S. #1 and by 2021 along 45th from 43rd Avenue to 58th Avenue, where necessary right-of-way is available (has been acquired). The County will seek to install segments of a 45th Street sidewalk between 43rd Avenue and 58th Avenue prior to 2021." The 45th Street sidewalk was repaired and/or replaced as part of the Phase I $1.8 million dollar 45th Street Beautification project from 43rd Avenue to just west of the railroad tracks. The segment from the railroad tracks to US-1 has been delayed due to All Aboard Florida/FEC's slow response in providing an agreement to widen 45th Street and add sidewalk crossings. Recently, an agreement was provided by the FEC with a fee of over $730,000. In January 2018 Public Works will bring the proposed agreement to the BCC for action. If BCC action on the proposed agreement is favorable, then the bidding process will start for the construction of the improvements from the railroad track to US-1, as the design is complete. Based on the delay in receiving a proposed crossing agreement from the FEC, the 2017 completion date for the first part of action 7.3 should be changed to 2018. The segment of 45th Street from 43rd Avenue to 58th Avenue will be designed by a consultant to be determined through the Request for Qualifications (RFQ) process which has been started. This segment has FDOT funding that is not available until 2020 — 2021. In addition, an existing asphalt segment of the 45th Street sidewalk just east of 43rd Avenue will be re-evaluated for replacement as part of the Phase II 45th Street Beautification project. "Action 13.6 — By 2016, the County will prepare plans, seek FDEP/EPA approval, and seek funding for redevelopment of the 41'Street Old Landfill Site for community and/or recreational uses." County Solid Waste Disposal District and Planning staff coordinated with the Treasure Coast Regional Planning Council (TCRPC) for preparation of a redevelopment plan for the old landfill site. Several community meetings have been held to obtain citizen input on a redevelopment plan. It is anticipated that the redevelopment conceptual plan will be finalized in 2018 and funding can be sought for one or more phases of the plan. Therefore, the completion date of the action 13.6 should be changed to 2018. "Action 11.7 — By 2017, the County Public Works Department will coordinate with the Indian River Farms Water Control District and develop a scope of work for culverting the canal on the south side of 45th Street, east of 43rd Avenue, in segments and as a whole project. In addition, after a scope of work for culverting is developed, the County and MPO will seek funding for culverting improvements." This action is in Progress. A task order for project design was approved by the BCC in August 2017. The design project is for culverting the 45th Street canal from 28th Court to 43rd Avenue; the design is being provided by a contracted engineering firm; and the project is being managed by the Public Works Department. Because the design work may not be completed for a few months, the 3 P61
