[Email] Update on SW 10th Street from Commission Meeting

[Denise]

Dear Waterford Residents,

Update on SW 10th Street - January 5, 2010 -  City Commission Meeting

 

 

Scott Peterson of the Florida Department of Transportation addressed the City Commission at the regular commission meeting.

 

He stated the FDOT will be spending $75,000 to install a sidewalk on the north side of SW 10th Street from Military Trail to Powerline Road part of the funds will be used for landscaping in this area.  This is part of the resurfacing project that will happen in 2012 which he is overseeing.

 

 This was not a discussion but rather a statement that this is what is going to happen.



FDOT will take input from the City on the type of landscaping and the City can include irrigation if there is enough money.  He then stated the landscaping that will be installed with become the responsibility of the City to maintain.  

 

It was pointed out that people will be able to walk or ride bikes from the corner of Military Trail west to Powerline Road North to Hillsboro Blvd and back east to Military.  There are no plans for a sidewalk along Military south to SW 10th Street.

 

There are no plans for any type of barrier from the street to the sidewalk to protect pedestrians.  Charlie DeBrusco commented that FDOT has standards in place for this type of plan and they will follow the set guidelines for construction.

 

Scott Peterson did state that this is strictly a resurfacing project and not a widening project.

 

At the end of the meeting, Commissioner Ganz stated that there will be a public hearing for input from the residents about a berm on the south side of the wellfield project but a date has not been set for this meeting.
