RESOLUTION NO. 344
A RESOLUTION OF THE CITY OF WINTER SPRINGS, FLORIDA,
REQUESTING THE SECRETARY OF TRANSPORTATION TO FURTHER
CONSIDER THE AUTHORIZATION OF A TRAFFIC SIGNAL ON
SR 434 AT THE SITE OF THE VILLAGE MARKETPLACE; CONFLICTS
AND EFFECTIVE DATE.
WHEREAS, upon Resolution No. 327 of the City of Winter
Springs, Florida, the District 5 Office of the Florida Department of
Transportation conducted a traffic survey to determine the need for
vehicular and pedestrian traffic control along SR 434 within this City;
and
WHEREAS, upon review of their findings, the District Office
did not authorize a traffic signal to be installed at the site of the
Village Marketplace shopping center on SR 434 in Winter Springs; and
WHEREAS, the City of Winter Springs contends that the afore-
mentioned location comprises a hazardous traffic area due to the continued
expansion of the shopping center and due to its proximity to a large mobile
home park whose predominantly elderly residents frequent this shopping center
and who must cross the said five-lane SR 434 to do so and who often must do
so as pedestrians or bicyclists; and
WHEREAS, the entrance to this shopping center was recently
the scene of two fatalities of a vehicular collision.
NOW, THEREFORE, BE IT RESOLVED BY THE CITY COUNCIL OF THE
CITY OF WINTER SPRINGS, FLORIDA, THAT:
SECTION I - The City of Winter Springs, Florida, respectfully
requests that the Secretary of Transportation of the State of Florida further
review the findings of the study conducted by District 5 regarding the need
for traffic control devices along SR 434 in this City, and specifically
examine the traffic pattern at the site of the Village Marketplace shopping
center.
SECTION II - The City asks moreover that the Secretary take
into consideration the facts presented above and determine that signalization is
necessary at this shopping center to help ensure the safety of the residents of
the mobile home park directly across from the Village Marketplace as well as
the health and welfare of all citizens of this City who patronize this shopping
center.
SECTION III - The City petitions that the Secretary make a
positive decision to instruct the District 5 Office to authorize the
necessary signalization as soon as feasible, so that partial funding of
the initial costs for the signal may be made a provision of approval by
the City of the final phase of the Village Marketplace shopping center.
SECTION IV - This Resolution shall remain in force until
supplemented, amended, repealed or otherwise altered.
SECTION V - All resolutions or parts of resolutions in
conflict with this resolution are hereby repealed.
SECTION VI - This Resolution shall take immediate effect
upon its passage and approval.
PASSED and ADOPl'ED this 27th day January, 1981.
