Resolution 40-06-24 Support for the Florida Department Of Transportation (FDOT) US-1 Project and Associated Roadway Plans. Town Manager D’Agostino explained the item. Community Development Director Nadia DiTommaso clarified that the next four Resolutions are all for FDOT. Ms. Damaris Williams, Project Manager, and Jose Santiago, Consultant Project Manager presented to the Commission (see Exhibit “G”). There was a typo on one of the slides that indicated that the project would begin in spring of 2025 and be complete winter of 2026. The project would take about 2-years. Ms. Williams explained that the Resolution of support included the medians from Silver Beach Road north to Palmetto Drive. The Commission reviewed and discussed the proposed medians slide and the concerns with residents turning left and Earl Stewart Toyota vehicle delivery. Commissioner Thomas raised concern that the development on US-1 and Palmetto Drive, Northlake Promenade, was not taken into consideration when these plans were drafted. She stated that there was only one crosswalk being proposed and the new development would expect about 1,000 apartment units. She suggested reviewing the proposed plans to include more than one crosswalk along US-1 and Palmetto Drive to account for the future development. Mr. Santiago explained that the project was bike lanes, not crosswalks. Therefore, the decision was made not to place additional crosswalks along the project at this time. Vice-Mayor Glas-Castro asked if drainage improvements were included. Mr. Santiago stated that drainage was included as part of the project. He stated that pipelining would be placed along the depressing area. Vice-Mayor Glas-Castro asked how the car delivers would be conducted for Earl Stewart.

He stated that staff would coordinate a meeting with Earl Stewart and work through their car delivery process during the construction phase of this project. Mayor Michaud suggested the items be postponed until July 3, 2024 while all the issues are resolved. Ms. Williams asked that the Commission consider the other Resolutions and not move all four Resolutions to the next meeting. Vice-Mayor Glas-Castro questioned why the Resolution include landscape maintenance language when it was only for the stamped asphalt. Ms. Williams said the language appeared to be broiler plate and would need to investigate further. Vice-Mayor Glas- Castro asked if the Town was not responsible for maintaining the medians. Mr. Santiago explained that all they were doing was installing the hardscape. Ms. Williams explained that this would be the first landscape agreement. Town Manager D’Agostino recapped that staff would meet with Earl Stewart to discuss the car delivers and FDOT staff could work on the Resolution issues. The Commission came to consensus to bring all four Resolution back at the July 3, 2024 Regular Commission meeting. 10.

This suggests that most traffic flows at or slightly above typical residential speed limits, which commonly range from 25-30 mph. Given that speeds decrease significantly above 30 mph, with only a small percentage of vehicles exceeding this limit, considering the current speed patterns, and that only 3 accidents have occurred from 2019 to 2023, installing an additional stop sign for speed control purposes might not be immediately necessary.  Stop Signs Analysis Stop signs are typically used to address safety concerns at intersections, manage right-of-way conflicts, or where there's a proven history of accidents or near-misses. However, a stop sign could be a proactive measure if the goal is to further reduce average speeds or manage pedestrian safety, especially in areas with schools, parks, or a high foot traffic volume. It could serve to break up long stretches where drivers might otherwise be tempted to speed up, contributing to a safer overall street environment.  Stop Signs Analysis In rendering a final decision on this matter, it is critical to consider various factors, including potential disruptions to traffic flow, impacts on local neighborhoods, and findings from comprehensive traffic studies. These studies should encompass accident statistics and pedestrian traffic volumes.  Stop Signs Recommendation Based on the data presented, there is no current justification for installing an additional stop sign at this location. Consequently, we recommend deferring this request. We propose a reevaluation of the intersection at 2nd Street and Greenbriar Drive in 12 months to assess whether evolving traffic patterns or conditions necessitate the placement of additional stop signs.  Community and Law Enforcement Collaboration The success of these strategic measures hinges on the active collaboration and support of Lake Park's citizens and the vigilant enforcement by local law enforcement agencies. Engaging with the community through educational outreach and regular communication will foster a sense of ownership and responsibility toward maintaining traffic safety. Concurrently, the role of law enforcement in upholding traffic regulations and monitoring compliance is crucial in reinforcing the effectiveness of the new traffic controls.  Exhibit D TOWN MANAGER COMMENTS SPECIAL CALL TOWN COMMISSION MEETING Wednesday, June 12, 2024 HUMAN RESOURCES Job Openings: The following open positions are being advertised:  Stormwater Technician II – Pay range: $21.65 to $34.63 per hour.
