At its March 9, 2022 meeting, the City Commission approved a referral to the Public Safety and Neighborhood Quality of Life (PSNQL) Committee to discuss the maintenance of traffic issues on State and County-owned roads within the City, and any and all legal and enforcement options that may be available to the City to mitigate impacts to residents.

As part of the Public Works permitting procedure for any work conducted within the City's rights-of-way, contractors are required to:

• Have an active issued Public Works permit for any obstruction to any street or sidewalk in the City or impede the general movement of vehicular or pedestrian traffic.  Contractors who do not have a permit in hand, are issued a violation by Code Compliance, and may be asked to stop and/or vacate the area; the contractor will be asked to pull an after-the-fact Public Works permit to complete the work at a rate of 4x the original permit fee.

• In order to combat street closures on major thoroughfares, the City has increased street closure fees in comparison to local street closures (per Appendix A Fee Schedule, blocking of the ROW of a local street incurs a fee of $0.33/LF/Day, where blocking of the ROW of an arterial street incurs a fee of $3.15/LF/Day).

• Additionally, Resolution No. 2016-29583 restricts any lane closures along major thoroughfares such as Alton Road, Collins Avenue, Indian Creek, etc. during the rush hours from Monday – Friday, 7:00AM-10:00AM and 3:30PM-7:00PM.
