A brief discussion ensued, with input from Ms. Davis, about the entrance into Trillium <br />and how effective the right turn lane would be as a traffic calming measure. <br />Commissioner Davis voiced that the 66th Avenue Road Widening Project could be <br />designed better and explained his concept for a redesign featuring two deceleration lanes, one of <br />which would be the right turn lane previously discussed. However, he emphasized that he would <br />not support a project redesign if it results in the loss of the FDOT grant. <br />Vice Chairman O'Bryan agreed with Commissioner Davis that if the project redesign <br />causes the loss of the grant, he would not support it. However, he suggested that the County <br />request that the State extend the funding. <br />Arjuna Weragoda, Project Engineer, provided input on how much of the median the <br />County could give up for the redesign. <br />Mr. DeGeorge, responding to Vice Chairman O'Bryan's query, advised that the <br />homeowners have not yet voted to give the County the right-of-way for a right turn lane. <br />Chairman Wheeler agreed with Commissioners Davis and O'Bryan that the redesign <br />would be fine provided the FDOT extends the grant funding. <br />MOTION WAS MADE by Commissioner Davis, <br />SECONDED by Commissioner Flescher, to direct the <br />County Administrator to send a letter to the Florida <br />Department of Transportation requesting an extension of <br />the grant funds for the 66th Avenue Widening Project, for <br />the purpose of redesigning the median in front of the <br />Tnlhum Community. <br />March 13, 2012 23 <br />81. 142 PG 199 <br />
