Body
Background/Problem Discussion: In 2020, the Town contracted with McKim & Creed to compile a prioritized Capital Improvement Plan. This document is attached for your review. This list included factors such as multimodality, safety, public perception, and more. Staff did their best to accurately estimate similar factors based on experience and field interactions with residents. The updated prioritized Capital Improvement Plan is attached for your review and discussion at the meeting:
1. Indian Rocks Road Phase 3
2. Indian Rocks Road Phase 2
3. Ponce de Leon, southbound from Pine to Rosery
4. Mehlenbacher, west of Indian Rocks to Bluff View
Expenditure Challenges: Constantly increasing prices with relatively stable revenues will require consideration of additional funding sources. The Finance and Infrastructure Boards recommended consideration of additional funding options.
Recommendation: No recommendation is made at this time, however staff requests that the Commission either endorse the project priority list or recommend other priorities.
Proposed Motion: The Boards are requested to move a recommendation, or defer their recommendations pending further discussion.
