In 1964, the Indian River County Board of County Commissioners passed a resolution requesting <br />the Legislature enact legislation designating the bridge as the "A.B. Michael Bridge". However, <br />according to the Florida Department of Transportation ("FDOT") list of current road designations, <br />SR 510 Bridge #53, the Wabasso Bridge Causeway, is designated as the "A.B. Mitchell Bridge". <br />It is unclear based on the information provided by FDOT when the Legislature officially approved <br />this designation. <br />Accordingly, based on the 1964 resolution passed by the Indian River County Board of County <br />Commissioners, staff believes the bridge designation was intended to honor A.B. Michael and, <br />instead, was mistakenly designated as the "A.B. Mitchell" bridge. <br />RECOMMENDATION <br />Staff recommends the Board of County Commissioners approve the attached proposed Resolution, <br />which requests the Florida Legislature enact legislation designating SR 510 Bridge #53 as the <br />"A.B. Michael Bridge" and which also requests the Florida Legislature direct FDOT to erect <br />markers on the bridge reflecting that designation. <br />ATTACHMENTS <br />Provided for the Board of County Commissioners information is the following: <br />- Information related to A.B. Michael's contributions to Indian River County <br />- 1964 Resolution of the Indian River County Board of County Commissioners <br />FDOT Road Designation List <br />- Florida Statute 334.071 <br />- Proposed Resolution <br />121 <br />
