PRIORITY CORRIDOR 2 Indian River Boulevard from 4"' Street to 37th Street137th Street from Indian River Boulevard to US 1 Virtually all of Indian River Boulevard south of 37th Street is identified as a priority corridor in the CMP screening process. This corridor is a four -lane divided roadway with several high-volume signalized intersections and a frontage road (Vero Isles Drive) providing access to a nearby residential neighborhood. The corridor is illustrated in Figure 3. Recommended strategies to improve the operation of this corridor are provided below: ■ 37th Street and Indian River Boulevard --- add northbound left turn lane (dual lefts) on Indian Kiverboulevara approaching 'jitn"btri52t, aiso aaa curbea isiana i ranascaping in the center of the intersection to assist motorists in making eastbound -to -northbound left turns from 37th Street onto Indian River Boulevard. ■ Indian River Boulevard, 17th Street to 21St Street --- connect 5th Avenue from the Miracle Mile Shopping Center northbound to Royal Palm Boulevard. This will provide a northbound exit from the Fresh Market Plaza which, in turn, provides an additional north - south network alternative to Indian River Boulevard. The project will reduce traffic on eastbound 21St Street thereby relieving the 21St Street/Indian River Boulevard Intersection. ■ Indian River Boulevard, 17th Street to 4th Street --- nearly 2% of all trips on the Merrill Barber Bridge are made by transit or non -motorized transportation. Implement a new transit route on 17tt' Street, connecting the South Beach area of Vero Beach to the South Indian River Boulevard corridor. -t0- October 2009 Em
