body

 

REQUESTED MOTION:

Board discussion of alternatives and/or Motion to pursue interim traffic control measures based on the presentation, timeliness and funding availability for the project.

 

SUMMARY:

Presentation by FDOT with findings and alternatives to address traffic safety concern at the intersection of CR 761 and US 17 (SR35).

 

BACKGROUND:

Over the past several years changing traffic patterns have resulted in traffic stacking during periods on CR 761 and US 17 and at CR 760 and US 17.  County staff and FDOT have been communication about the safety concerns at these intersection for the approximately 2 years. FDOT has completed Intersection Control Evaluation (ICE) studies for both intersections.  Based on limited financial resources for the projects, staff identified the intersection of 761 and US 17 as the priority based on the nature of traffic and traffic speed on US 17. The presentation provides an overview of the analysis and alternative controls for Board consideration and input and includes an interim option to increase safety of the intersection considering timeliness and funding availability for the project(s)
