Beautification of Winter Springs Board: Carl Smith, Chairman, said the BOWS Board would like to make a special recommendation which we feel not only fit under the category of beautification but would also serve the purpose of providing recreation and at the same time help ease traffic problems in the City. This project takes into consideration the new super park which will be located off of S. R. 434, and also the fact the Department of Transportation plans to widen S.R. 434 in a few years from now. Once this super park is built traffic will instantly increase on S.R. 434 due to the fact that many persons will want to use this facility. We would like to propose that the City of Winter Springs in conjunction with DOT construct a recreational bicycle path parallel to S. R. 434. This path could start on the west end of S.R. 434 near the junction of S.R. 419 and would extend east to wherever the new interchange would intersect S. R. 434. He said the BOWS Board is willing to do anything, and if authorized would contact DOT and get as much information as they could. Discussion followed.
