COMMISSIONER ITEMS
Redevelopment Agency (CRA) project at Pondella Road and Business 41, originally scheduled to be done in 120
days, will be finished today after only 8 days of construction. He commended Economic Development Director Janet
Watermeier and CRA Director Ellcina McKuen for their efforts on this project, and noted that the additional cost for
the accelerated completion time was only $849.00.
occurred last week at the school entrance on Corkscrew Road, Commissioner Judah requested Board direction to
Department of Transportation (DOT) staff to install a traffic signal as quickly as possible at that location. In response
to Commissioner Albion's questions, DOT Chief Traffic Engineer John Davis asserted that the recent analysis did not
reveal conditions that warrant a traffic light at the school, that design and planning is already in progress for 10 other
locations, and that this location could be added to that list. After Commissioner Manning stated his preference to
review the entire package to be presented by DOT at next week's hearing, Commissioner Judah made a motion that
the Board direct Department of Transportation (DOT) staff to move as quickly as possible to install a traffic signal at
Pine Woods Elementary School on Corkscrew Road, seconded by Commissioner Coy for discussion. Commissioner
Coy opined that something needs to be done, and that a signal would be better than re-routing truck traffic to Alico
Road. MSTBU Coordinator Libby Walker reported that the Corkscrew Road Services Area (CRSA) might be willing
to include the cost of a traffic signal in the road widening project. Commissioner St. Cerny pointed out that items with
significant financial impact are not normally handled as Commissioner Items. After Commissioner Albion remarked
that any traffic signal should be part of a larger plan to improve overall traffic conditions on Corkscrew Road, the
motion was called and failed, with Commissioners Manning, St. Cerny, and Albion voting nay.
