SUBJECT: Local Agency Agreement for the Old Winter Beach Road <br />Bikepath <br />DATE: April 10, 2000 <br />DESCRIPTION AND CONDITIONS <br />Staff is following guidelines for the Comprehensive Bike and <br />Sidewalk Plan in which constructing an eight -foot (81) wide <br />concrete bikepath along Old Winter Beach Road between Jungle Trail <br />and SR AlA is planned. This project would connect bicycle and <br />pedestrian access from AIA Corridor to the Scenic Jungle Trail. <br />ALTERNATIVES AND ANALYSIS <br />Indian River County has adopted a Comprehensive Bikeway and <br />Sidewalk Plan, which identifies roadways where bicycle and sidewalk <br />facilities should be provided within the County. The Old Winter <br />Beach Road Bikepath is on the list of priority projects in the <br />Comprehensive Plan. In 1997, this project was submitted to the <br />Florida Department of Transportation (FDOT) along with seven <br />others. After FDOT District IV staff review, all projects were <br />found to be eligible for enhancement funding. The FDOT has set up <br />a Local Agency Project (LAP) Agreement in which the Agency (Indian <br />River County) agrees to design and construct an FDOT approved <br />project, and the FDOT agrees to reimburse the Agency after its <br />completion. <br />Staff recommends the Board approve the attached LAP Agreement <br />and authorize the Chairman to execute the same for construction of <br />the Old Winter Beach Road Bikepath listed in the Comprehensive <br />Plan. <br />1.
