Commissioner Eggert commented that nothing says that this <br />corridor plan has to be identical or as costly as the Wabasso plan. <br />Commissioner Tippin thought the plan should not necessarily <br />dictate the color someone has to paint their building, either. <br />Director Keating recommended that landowners, developers, real <br />estate people, anyone -with an interpst in the SR -60 corridor be on <br />the task force so all perspectives are represented. Commissioner <br />Adams asked how the list of potential task force members would be <br />created, and Director Boling advised that staff would be coming <br />back to the Board with a recommended list of members.

SR -60 has a similar issue west of <br />Kings Highway, where widening is actually underway from 58th to <br />66th, and widening is being studied to the west of that.
