HISTORY:

 

There was a discussion at the City Commission meeting of October 17, 2018, regarding the condition of City streets in the Central Bayshore South project area.  The City Commission authorized the Administration to temporarily resurface Prairie Avenue, from 28th through 34th Streets in the not-to-exceed amount of $100,000, with previously appropriated funding from the Central Bayshore South.  This work was completed by the Capital Improvement Department.

 

There was also a referral to the Finance and Citywide Projects Committee (FCWPC) to develop a list of  any other streets staff found that are in dire need to be fixed.

 


ANALYSIS:

 

As a result of a survey of the project area, the following streets were determined to be in need of remedial action:

• 28 Street from Sheridan to Prairie Avenue – Critical due to length and degree of deterioration as well as the volume of traffic
• Sheridan Ave from 28 Street to 30 Street. – Critical due to residential complaints and volumn of traffic
• Royal Palm Avenue from 29 Street to 34 Street
• 29 Street from Royal Palm to Prairie Avenue
• 31 Street from Sheridan to Prairie Avenue



CONCLUSION:

The following is presented to the members of the FCWPC for discussion and further direction.
