RESOLUTION NO. 409
A RESOLUTION OF THE CITY OF WINTER SPRINGS, FLORIDA,
REQUESTING THE FLORIDA DEPARTMENT OF TRANSPORTATION
TO PROVIDE FOR NIGHTTIME CONSTRUCTION ON THE WIDENING
OF STATE ROAD 436 BETWEEN BOSTON AND DOUGLAS AVENUES
WITHIN THE CITY OF ALTAMONTE SPRINGS, FLORIDA; CONFLICTS
AND EFFECTIVE DATE.
WHEREAS, transportation is the single most critical problem at
present and for the future of the City of Altamonte Springs; and
WHEREAS, the Florida Department of Transportation has provided
funds for the much needed widening of SR 436 between Boston Avenue and
Douglas Avenue within the City of Altamonte Springs; construction of said
project will begin in August of 1983; and
WHEREAS, said construction is anticipated to be conducted over a
period of approximately two years; and
WHEREAS, said section of SR 436 serves the heart of the City of
Altamonte Springs, including the Altamonte Mall and other key business
entities within the City of Altamonte Springs and is the single transportation
link between the East and West portions of the City across Interstate 4; and
WHEREAS, the traffic congestion within the City of Altamonte Springs
is at peak hour proportions between the hours of 7:00 a.m. until 8:00 p. m., as
documented by the 1982 Transportation Study conducted by the City of Altamonte
Springs; and
WHEREAS, construction techniques are existent which are capable of
providing for nighttime construction of roadway improvement projects at
marginally increased costs over daytime construction; and
WHEREAS, said nighttime construction would result in significant
energy savings to the motoring public; increase the safety factor during con-
struction by reducing congestion; and substantially reduce inconvenience for the
residents of the City of Altamonte Springs and other residents of the area who
travel in and through the City of Altamonte Springs during the period of con-
struction and improvements on SR 436.
NOW, THEREFORE, BE IT RESOLVED BY THE CITY COMMISSION
OF THE CITY OF WINTER SPRINGS, FLORIDA:
SECTION I - That it hereby respectfully requests the Florida Depart-
ment of Transportation to include in its bidding procedures for the roadway
improvement project for SR 436 between Boston and Douglas Avenues within
the City of Altamonte Springs an alternative for nighttime construction
only to determine whether or not the increased cost for said construction
would be more than offset by the reduction in disruption to the traffic
flow within the City of Altamonte Springs during the period of construction.
SECTION II - That copies of said resolution be sent to other
concerned jurisdictions including Seminole County.
SECTION III - This Resolution shall remain in force and effect until
supplemented, amended, repealed or otherwise altered.
SECTION IV
All Resolutions or parts of Resolutions in conflict
with this Resolution are hereby repealed.
SECTION V - This Resolution shall take immediate effect upon its
passage and approval.
PASSED and ADOPTED this 8th day of March, 1983.
