Director Mora, continuing to use the aerial, proposed different scenarios by shifting the <br />lanes and offering different size medians. <br />Commissioner Flescher voiced concerns over 66th Avenue being six lanes, and wanted <br />assurance that staff had reviewed all possibilities in creating a safe environment for residents. <br />Commissioner Davis found that if the shift to the east is made (either 12 or 24 feet) there <br />would need to be a transition north of 33rd Street to shift the roadway from a narrower median to <br />a wider one, to ensure that the lanes line up properly. <br />For the well-being of Trillium and Vista Plantation, Chairman Wheeler said he would <br />like to see 66th Avenue shifted 24 feet to the east and become a four -lane road indefinitely. <br />Vice Chairman O'Bryan felt it would make the most sense to keep 66th Avenue as four <br />lanes from 33rd Street south, then start the transition to a 46 -foot wide median north of 33rd <br />Street. <br />Mr. Weragoda strongly urged the Board, if they make 66th Avenue four lanes, to shift the <br />southbound lanes 24 feet to the east and keep the median 22 feet wide for safety reasons. He <br />also indicated that there would be room within the right-of-way to add a southbound right turn <br />lane into Trillium, which would not affect the sidewalk. <br />Mike DeGeorge, President of Trillium Homeowners Association, preferred the 18 -foot <br />median be constructed because it would line up with Vista Plantation, and he felt that every <br />additional foot would enhance safety, quality of life, and home values. <br />Mr. Weragoda reiterated why keeping the median at 22 feet wide would be safer than the <br />requested 18 feet for the residents of Trillium. <br />May 1, 2012 16 <br />Bk 142 PG 389 <br />
