Ir <br />-1 <br />BOOK ��9 Ff3 c 7 .8 <br />In addition to the project discussed above, there are several other areas in need of sidewalks and <br />bikepaths in the County. Since enhancement projects should not include ROW purchase, the County <br />is unable to use enhancement funds for all needed projects. As part of the application process, staff <br />identified the following three priority projects which lack adequate ROW: <br />construction of an 8' wide bicycle/pedestrian recreation path on the north side of 51' St. SW <br />between 43`d Ave. and 27`h Ave.; <br />construction of an 8' wide bicycle/pedestrian recreation path on the north side of 81' St. <br />between 43' Ave. and 27' Ave.; and <br />construction of an 8' wide sidewalk on the north side of 12' St. between 58th Ave. and 43`d <br />Ave. <br />Each of these projects was ranked highly based on the first three evaluation criteria discussed above. <br />However, in coordination with Public Works staff, it was determined that these projects lack <br />sufficient ROW to accommodate the proposed projects. Staff will continue to coordinate with Public <br />Works staff to accommodate the needed ROW along these roadway segments so that the <br />corresponding potential enhancement projects may be considered for funding in future FDOT <br />enhancement funding cycles. <br />As in previous enhancement cycles, the MPO is responsible for prioritizing enhancement projects <br />received from the County and municipalities for funding consideration by FDOT. This prioritization <br />will occur in August/September 1999, when the MPO develops its annual lists of priority highway, <br />enhancement, and congestion management system projects. <br />Staff recommends that the Board of County Commissioners authorize staff. to. transmit the <br />referenced transportation enhancement project application to the Indian River`County MPO for <br />submittal to FDOT. <br />1.
