RESOLUTION 2000-021 AUTHORIZING EXECUTION <br />OF A LOCAL AGENCY AGREEMENT FOR THE <br />CONSTRUCTION OF OSLO ROAD SIDEWALK FROM <br />LATERAL "J" CANAL TO 20TH STREET WITH THE <br />STATE OF FLORIDA. DEPARTMENT OF <br />TRANSPORTATION - LOCAL AGENCY PROGRAM <br />AGREEMENT FOR OSLO ROAD SIDEWALK FROM <br />LATERAL "J" CANAL TO 20TH STREET <br />The Board reviewed a Memorandum of March 7, 2000: <br />TO: James Chandler <br />County Administrator <br />THROUGH: James W. Davis, P.E. CIV— <br />Public <br />IV - <br />Public Works Director <br />FROM: Terry B. Thompson, P.E—' I <br />Capital Projects Manager <br />SUBJECT: Florida Department of Transportation <br />Local Agency Program (LAP) Agreement for <br />Oslo Road Sidewalk from Lateral "J" Canal to 200' Street <br />DATE: March 7, 2000 <br />DESCRIPTION AND CONDITIONS <br />The Florida Department of Transportation (FDOT) was scheduled to start construction on <br />the Oslo Road sidewalk from Timber Ridge to South County Park on March 13, 2000. The <br />construction plans called for the sidewalk to match existing grade and the clearing was <br />limited to an eight -foot (8') wide path through heavily wooded areas. <br />Indian River County is scheduled to widen Oslo Road from Timber Ridge to 20' Avenue <br />in November 2001. The elevation of the sidewalk for the widening project is six inches to <br />two feet higher than the existing grade. The County was unable to convince the FDOT to <br />raise the elevation of the proposed sidewalk so that it will not have to be reconstructed <br />when Oslo Road is widened. The County was also unable to convince the FDOT to clear <br />the right-of-way between the edge of the sidewalk and the edge of the road so that <br />pedestrians are not hidden from view. <br />March 14, 2000 <br />• <br />-57- <br />BocK_�*7 <br />
