Authorization
REQUEST: Public Works Department is advising the City Commission of the status of
various Deceleration Lane Projects
PURPOSE: This agenda item is to update the Commission on the status of the
Deceleration Lanes as identified in the Right Turn Deceleration Lanes study
performed by PEC, Inc in April of 2004.
CONSIDERATION:
The following intersections were identified in the study as meeting criteria for right hand turn
lanes and ranked in the priority as shown:
1. Vistawilla Drive
2. Hayes Road - Eastbound
3. Winding Hollow Boulevard
4. Tuscora Drive
5. Moss Road - Eastbound
Of the five identified as needing deceleration lanes, Moss Road -Eastbound is under construction
as part of the SR 434 Access Management Project (Village Walk) and is scheduled for
completion by the end of October 2005.
The process of taking the needed RoW through Eminent Domain is underway for the
deceleration/turn lane at SR 434 and Hayes Road Eastbound with an estimated completion of
acquiring the RoW sometime mid-year 2006. The design is complete for this project and can be
budgeted for construction in fiscal year 06-07.
Negotiations currently underway for the proposed construction of the Colonial Bank at the
intersection of Vistawilla Drive have had the construction of the deceleration lane as considered
as a part of the construction of the Colonial Bank. This would require additional land from the
Metro Church. These discussions have been very preliminary. This project if funded can have the
design completed in fiscal year 06-07 and constructed in fiscal year 07-08 if not included as part
of the Colonial Bank construction.
