Approximately one mile in length, the Roseland Bikepath would be placed along Roseland Road from 126th Street to US 1. This project would connect the Roseland Community to shopping and other amenities at the Roseland Road/US 1 intersection. Approximate cost: $134,160 This project would extend the recreation path adjacent to State Road AIA from CR 510 northward to the Indian River/Brevard County line. The project is 7 miles in length, and the approximate cost is $1,231,400. To provide pedestrians and bicyclists a safer place to walk along CR 512 in Fellsmere, this project would place an eight -foot wide separated path along CR 512 from Willow Street to Myrtle Street. The project would connect City Hall, city parks, churches, and the CR 512 commercial district in Fellsmere. Approximate cost: $183,750. This project would provide a sidewalk along US 1 to help connect the Gifford Community to commercial and medical facilities. The sidewalk along US 1 would connect 37th Street to 45th Street. The estimated cost for this project is $186,625. The segment of Indian River Boulevard between the 17th Street bridge and the new Merrill Barber bridge does not have a paved shoulder, causing cyclists to join with traffic in this busy area. This project would add paved shoulders to the roadway. The estimated cost for this project is $141,000. As in previous enhancement cycles, the MPO is responsible for prioritizing the projects for funding consideration by FDOT. This prioritization will occur in August/September 1997, when the MPO develops its annual lists of project priorities. Staff recommends that the Board of County Commissioners authorize staff to submit the above referenced transportation enhancement project applications, agree to be the project sponsor for the applications, and authorize the chairman to execute a project sponsor certification statement for each application. Attachment 1 Examples of Current Indian River County ISTEA Enhancement Projects Jungle Trail A locally designated scenic and historic roadway, Jungle Trail is an unpaved scenic drive which runs along the Indian River for much of its length, which extends from Old Winter Beach Road on the south to SR AIA north of the Town of Orchid. This project was approved for funding in 1993, the initial enhancement project application cycle. While the scope of the project is not yet final, it will likely include markers for historically significant sites, research concerning archaeological sites along the Trail, and parking/restroom improvements on publicly owned sites along the Trail to accommodate bicycle/pedestrian access.
