Staff – Held, Lorber, Mooney, Hirsh. Discussion Item – Maintenance of Traffic (MOT) to address traffic flow disruptions due to construction activity on Alton Road. Florida Department of Transportation (FDOT) representatives gave a Power Point Presentation and handed out hard copies to Board members. They went through the Scope of Work and the construction phases and sub-phases of the Alton Road project, which include the installation of pump stations, drainage improvements, reconstruction, milling, resurfacing and restriping. Their traffic control plan included traffic detour routes, and changes in the direction of traffic flow on Alton Road and West Avenue as the project goes through the different phases. FDOT also provided a section graphic showing the proposed travel lanes in each direction, turn lanes, parking lanes, bulb- outs, bike lanes, pedestrian crossings, landscaping and bus shelters. The expected timetable for the Alton Road project is over two years, from April 2013 through August 2015. Board members asked questions and expressed concerns about the impacts including, but not limited to, the following: • The bike lanes appear very wide because they are proposed to be shared (sharrows). • Safety of sharrows. A study on sharrow safety found them successful. • Public information is very important. Outreach should include not only the affected neighbors, but the community at large. The Public Information Officer described the different proposed methods of outreach to targeted sections of the community. • Concurrent reconstruction project on Collins Avenue – expected timetable – one to 1 ¼ years to begin May or June 2013. Coordination of closures. Not as large as the Alton Road project. • Major concern about the compounded impact on the community from two large re- construction projects of the City’s two principal north-south arterials implemented simultaneously. How that decision was arrived at and the wisdom of that decision. • How pump stations work. • Incentives for early completion and disincentives for delays provided in the contracts. • Hours of construction. • The Go Bond West Avenue redesign project should be coordinated with this project. • Follow up with the Public Works Department and FDOT. The February 26 discussion item will be the status of the GO Bond Improvements and the April 3 discussion item will be Permitted Uses for Adult Entertainment Establishments.
