explained that staff's proposal is to temporarily relocate the Transit Hub to Pro Flight Drive at <br />the Vero Beach Airport, and following construction of the transit building, to permanently move <br />the Transit Hub to City property lying immediately west of the Florida East Coast Railroad right- <br />of-way and south of 16`h Street, which the County would lease. Director Matson asked the <br />Board to approve the temporary site for the Transit Hub, and the lease agreement with the City <br />for the permanent transit hub site. <br />Commissioner Solari voiced concerns about how the new sites would affect the bus <br />routes, and felt that this matter should have been vetted by the Metropolitan Planning <br />Organization. <br />Individual staff members outlined the factors underlying the difficulty of finding an <br />optimum site, and the lack of a viable alternative on which to situate the permanent hub. <br />MOTION WAS MADE by Vice Chairman Davis, <br />SECONDED by Commissioner O'Bryan, to approve the <br />temporary location of the GoLine Transit Hub at the Vero <br />Beach Municipal Airport on Pro Flite Drive. <br />Commissioner O'Bryan was confident that the MPO and Senior Resource Association <br />(the County's Community Transportation Coordinator), would be able to make the permanent <br />site work. <br />Commissioner Zorc acknowledged Commissioner Solari's concerns, but supported the <br />Pro Flite Drive site as a first step to move the hub away from its current location. <br />Renee Renzi, Waverly Place, addressed the Board with her suggestion that benches be <br />installed at each bus stop. <br />April 16, 2013 8 <br />
