PUBLIC WORKS <br />12.1.1 CIVIL ENGINEERING AND LAND SURVEYING AGREEMENT FOR BRIDGE <br />REPLACEMENTS AND WIDENING OF 66TH AVENUE FROM SOUTH OF SR 60 <br />TO NORTH OF 57TH STREET, AMENDMENT NO. 11 IRC PROJECT NO. 0545 <br />Public Works Director Chris Mora recalled that on March 13, 2012, Trillium residents <br />voiced issues over the design of the median in front of their community on 66th Avenue, and the <br />Board directed that a letter be sent to the Florida Department of Transportation (FDOT) <br />requesting an extension of grant funds for the 66th Avenue widening project. Using an aerial <br />map, he provided description, conditions, and funding information regarding staff's proposed <br />design modifications and how the changes would address the residents' concerns. He also <br />conveyed that FDOT consented to the change in schedule, and that the design change will delay <br />the project about six months. <br />Project Engineer Arjuna Weragoda explained the engineer's (Arcades US, Inc.) proposal <br />for design changes, as listed on page 132 of the Agenda Packet. <br />A lengthy discussion ensued regarding the widening of 66th Avenue to a four -lane or six - <br />lane road the median width being reduced from 34 feet to 22 feet, the southbound lane being <br />shifted 24 feet towards the east to provide for the median width reduction, installing a turn lane <br />from the south to turn into Trillium, and costs associated with the project. <br />BK 142 PG 388 <br />May 1, 2012 15 <br />
