MEMORANDUM
No. 019-2008
SUBJECT: Request for Information -Study on Alton Road between Stn Street and 17th Street
This memorandum is in response to your request for information (attached). The item that you
referenced, C7B agreement with Chen and Associates, is specific to that portion of Alton Road,
South of 5th Street. The agreement made provisions to incorporate the Bike Master Plan
elements into the South Pointe Project areas. Attached is the Commission Item as well as the
full Bike Master Plan for your review.
As you know, the development of the Bike Master Plan was a process with a great deal of public
input, including the creation of a Bikeways Committee, which provided input and feedback as to
the location of bike lanes throughout the City. The Bike Master Plan was reviewed by various
City boards, and was adopted by the City Commission on October 17, 2007. At that time, the
direction given to staff was to incorporate the installation of bike lanes into CIP projects
throughout the City.
The information that the City has on Alton Road between 5th Street and 17th Street is the material
that was developed by the Florida Department of Transportation (FDOT) for their project
between 5th and 17th Street on Alton Road. The information we have is the same as that which
was presented at the recent Neighborhoods Committee meeting. The City has not yet been
able to provide its own professional analysis of the FDOT information. Attached is the hard copy
of the presentation made by FDOT on April 30, 2008 at the Neighborhoods Committee.
Please feel free to contact me if you have any questions.
