FDOT has recently started corridor improvements along 41 S Street. The project scope of work consists of constructing
pedestrian improvements at major intersections along 41 St Street from Chase Avenue to Pine Tree Drive. The City has
requested a scope modification for the pedestrian crosswalks. The City has entered into a Joint Participation
Agreement (JPA) with FDOT on September 11, 2008 to modify this scope of work to include pedestrian crosswalks
that are of a certain style which is consistent with previous citywide applications installed by FDOT at other crosswalk
locations in the past, such as on 41St Street and Alton Road. This will upgrade the standard crosswalk striping currently
provided in the project. Pursuant to Section 2(g) of the JPA, the City is required to enter into a Maintenance
Memorandum of Agreement (MMOA) with FDOT and present the MMOA to the City Commission for approval and
execution (See Attachment 1, MMOA). In order to have FDOT install the crosswalk upgrades, the City through the
MMOA must assume responsibility for maintenance.
FDOT has begun general improvements on 41St Street during the week of June 16, 2008. FDOT will begin installing
the crosswalks during the week of October 27th and anticipates installing the pedestrian countdown signals by the end
of November 2008.
The Administration recommends approval of the Resolution.
