Public Works Director Roberto Travieso welcomed everyone and introduced the elected officials, members of staff, representatives with Palm Beach County and the Town’s consultants working on this project. He and Mr. Adam Swaney representing Ingenuity Group presented to the audience (see Exhibit “A”). Town Manager John D’Agostino asked if the crosswalks would be lite. Mr. Swaney explained that the crosswalks could have the ability to be lite. Town Manager D’Agostino asked if the street would have lighting such as Lake Shore Drive. Mr. Swaney explained that they could work with Palm Beach County to meet their standards. Commissioner Linden asked if bicycle lanes are included in the design. Mr. Swaney explained that there would not be enough right-of-way to include bicycle lanes. He explained that they might install a larger sidewalk to accommodate both. They have right- of-way limitations. Commissioner Taylor asked how the pedestrians would be kept safe. Mr. Swaney explained that there would be signage and, as suggested, additional lighting and directional signs to bring attention to the intersection. Patricia Leduc asked how trucks would be able to navigate the intersection. Mr. Swaney explained that only large trucks might have difficulty with the intersection. He stated that they would analyze further, how trucks could navigate the intersection. Mayor O’Rourke asked if the area could be broaden to accommodate trucks. Mr. Swaney agreed that more right-of-way would accommodate more flexibility to the area to add more safety features. A member of the audience commented and expressed concern regarding the hazards of the intersection and the proposal of reducing the street to one lane in each direction. Mr. Swaney explained the removals of the traffic light and a merge lane to move traffic. A member of the audience asked how long before this project begins. Public Works Director Travieso stated that they would discuss that later in the session. The meeting recessed into groups to discuss the plans and design elements.
