�ooK 96 PAu x.83 <br />.Commissioner Eggert advised that Leland Gibbs was the number <br />one choice of the NRQC and suggested he be named. <br />ON MOTION by Commissioner Adams, SECONDED by <br />Commissioner Tippin, the Board unanimously <br />appointed Leland Gibbs to the HRS District 15 <br />Board. <br />TRAFFIC SIGNAL AT BEACHLAND BLVD. AND RIVERSIDE PARK <br />1' <br />Commissioner Eggert reviewed the memorandum of September 12, <br />1995, and portion of MPO minutes: <br />To: Carolyn K. Eggert, <br />MPO Chairman <br />From: Richard N. Bird <br />County Commissioner <br />Date: September 12, 1995 <br />Re: Traffic Signal at Beachland Blvd. (S.R. 60) <br />and Riverside Park Drive/Indian River Drive <br />Enclosed are copies of correspondence related to the <br />intersection of Beachland Boulevard and Indian River Drive. <br />In my opinion, the proposal by the Department of <br />Transportation (DOT) is not as workable as signalization <br />would be. I understand that the Metropolitan Planning <br />Organization (MPO) in the past had supported this position <br />forcing people exiting Memorial Island Park and the numerous <br />public facilities there to travel through residential <br />neighborhoods to Mockingbird, or having them do a right turn <br />only onto Beachland Boulevard from Indian River Drive and <br />then having to try to negotiate a 180 degree U-turn at <br />Mockingbird, is also unacceptable. <br />I would like to see the MPO rediscuss this situation <br />and use whatever influence we have with the DOT to do the <br />right thing in this intersection. I'll leave it to your <br />discretion as to when to agenda this item. <br />RNB:jwc <br />Enclosures CORRESPONDENCE ON FILE IN THE COUNTY <br />COMMISSION OFFICE. <br />Motion made at 9/13/95 MPO meeting relative to Traffic Signal at <br />Beachland Blvd. (SR -60) and Riverside Park Drive/Indian River <br />Drive: <br />The Board unanimously voted 7-0 to draft a strongly worded <br />Resolution to be signed by Chairman and sent to the legislative <br />delegation and Florida Department of Transportation. <br />— The Board also recommended that -the County Commission adopt a <br />similar Resolution and send it to the same individuals. <br />Chairman Eggert commented that there should be a light that can <br />be activated in an emergency situation or for big events to <br />clean out traffic from the Riverside Park area. <br />The City of Vero Beach will also draft a Resolution to.send to <br />the above individuals. _ <br />88 - <br />September 19, 1995 <br />� � i <br />
