BPAC Members,
Please find attached a summary of the committee's recommended Cross - Seminole Trail safety improvements from the
December meeting. City Staff will hopefully soon be meeting with Seminole County Engineering to review these
recommendations and to obtain the County's input. Please review the attachment and we can discuss any comments or
suggested changes at this week's meeting.
Regarding the new trail crossing at Michael Blake Blvd (under construction between Tuskawilla Road and the trail
bridge), the temporary crossing is in place as a 4 -way stop, and the permanent crossing is being designed to be a 4 -way
stop.
Sincerely,
Brian Fields, P.E.
