REQUEST FOR CITY COUNCIL CONSIDERATION
Meeting Date: May 3, 2004
Agenda Item: Prepared By: A. William Moss, City Manager
Date: April 26, 2004
Agenda Section:
Business: Special Called Meeting
Subject: North Collier Boulevard Improvement Project Department: City Manager
BACKGROUND:
On March 29, 2004 City Council and the Planning Board met in a joint workshop. City Council asked the Planning Board to meet with the project engineer and staff and to make recommendations regarding the North Collier Boulevard Project. The Planning Board met on April 12th and their recommendations were considered by City Council on April 19th.
During the April 19th meeting, City Council engaged in discussion and shared viewpoints regarding the recommendations of the Planning Board and the general design parameters of the project. Because of the apparent lack of consensus on the general design parameters, Council did not discuss the specific recommendations regarding access management at the specified intersections.
At the April 19th meeting, questions were raised as to the overall purpose of the project and whether an alternate approach, including a scaled back project or a suspension of the project, should be considered.
The Public Works Director will meet with FDOT representatives on April 30th to discuss options regarding the use of $2.8 million of FDOT funds.
City Council may wish to discuss the following options:
· Resolve outstanding issues on design elements and proceed with the project.
· Ask FDOT to proceed with the 3R project with possible shared funding by the City.
· Reconstruct North Collier from the Bald Eagle Drive intersection to San Marco Road.
· Reconstruct North Collier from the Smokehouse Bay Bridge to San Marco Road.
· Reconstruct North Collier from Buttonwood to the Bald Eagle Drive intersection (or to the Smokehouse Bay Bridge).
· Redesign for a “suburban” section that would retain the existing sidewalk and swales, provide underground drainage lines and catch basins in the swale, retain existing median widths, but modify by lengthening openings, bulb expansion or closure where appropriate, provide intersection improvements, and remove and reconstruct existing roadway.
· Scale back project and identify specific improvements, such as closing medians, providing left turn lanes, swale grading, traffic signalization, and/or intersection improvements.
A special called meeting has been scheduled to discuss the future of the North Collier Boulevard Improvement Project. The project engineering team will be available.
RECOMMENDED ACTION: Discussion and further direction.
