Authorization
REQUEST: City Manager informing the City Commission of a joint meeting between the City,
County, and School Board Staff to review alternatives for resolving the traffic
problem of Tuskawilla Road and Trotwood Blvd during school hours.
PURPOSE: To inform the City Commission of a meeting being coordinated by the School
System between the County, City and School Staff to re-examine the traffic
problem at the intersection of Tuskawilla Road and Trotwood Blvd during school
opening and closing hours.
CONSIDERA TIONS:
The City continues to receive complaints regarding the traffic problem at this
intersection including the Mayor's memorandum of March 13, 1996. The
problem has been continuous over the past several years. The major problem
occurs during inclement weather when traffic becomes congested at the school
entrance.
ISSUE ANALYSIS:
A solution that would have a meaningful impact on the problem will more than
likely require a coordinated effort between the City, County and the School
System including a substantial investment on the part of the School System to
rearrange traffic circulation on the school site. In the past the School System has
been unable to make these investments. Additionally, past studies by the County
Traffic Engineering Staff have concluded that a left turn signal is not warranted
and would have marginal impact.

DATE:
I have noticed and it has been brought to my attention that our citizens need a left-1urn
atTO\V coming from Trotvvood onto Tuskawilla Road. The need is most evident when
parents from the Oak Forest subdivision are driving their children to Indian Trails Middle
School and Keeth Elementary School during inclement \veather.
Please revievv' the traffic pattem at this intersection to ddermine if the City needs to take
action. This has been on on-going problem and \ve need to respond in an expedient
manner.
Your attention to this citizen concem is appreciated.
