RESOLUTION 71-4
® STATEMENT OF POLICY WITH RESPECT TO CURB
NO MEDIAN CUTS ON MAJOR HIGHWAYS
INDIAN RIVER COUNTY, FLORIDA
WHEREAS, past experience shows that whenever new highways are constructed
and new building thereafter takes place there also is experienced by the
Department of Transportation successive requests for new curb cuts and
cuts in the median strip to provide vehicle access to roadside businesses
and
WHEREAS, these successive cuts have the effect of diminishing the effective-
ness of the ability of highway to move traffic efficiently and effectively,
and
WHEREAS, the County is attempting to create clusters of business rather
than strip business and limited access and off-street parking outside of
the right-of-way thru zoning and subdivision regulations,
NOW THEREFORE, BE IT RESOLVED that the Board of County Commissioners of
Indian River County do hereby go on record to request the Florida State
Department of Transportation to limit as much as possible the number of
median and curb cuts and the width of curb cuts, and to suggest some type
of systematic review whereby the views of this County government can be
taken into account by the Department of Transportation before issuing curb
cut permits and authorizing the construction of median strip cuts on all
major highways in Indian River County.
