Next, Mr. Stevenson gave a brief update on the Market Square project, which included traffic flow, intersection improvements, signs, and parking. Committee Member Brook inquired about the paid advertising on the pedestrian signs. Mr. Stevenson explained, "We don't own this property. Even though we are trying to help with the design, it is going to be paid for by the owner of the Town Center." Chairperson Mah followed by asking, We have buy-in from the owners?" Mr. Stevenson replied, "Yes. Before we decided to invest any dollars in a small design effort, we had to have their buy-in first. They actually have dollars budgeted." Further discussion. Vice-Chairperson Finley mentioned that he read that part of the Wayfinding Sign Project was federally funded and asked about the remaining funding. Mr. Stevenson pointed out that it may have to be paid for by the City, but that Staff was looking for Grants to fund the remaining portion of the project; and Staff needs the final version of the Wayfinding Design Manual approved by FDOT (Florida Department of Transportation) to submit requests for Grants. In addition to the presentation, Mr. Bobby Howell, AICP, Planner, Community Development Department briefly covered the "Missing Link" portion of the Cross- Seminole Trail. It was noted that Staff expects the land swap issues to be resolved by the summer or fall of 2015. Much discussion. Mr. Howell also explained that he is the City's representative on the MetroPlan Orlando Bicycle and Pedestrian Advisory Committee and explained that the role of MetroPlan Orlando is to disperse federal funds to metropolitan areas for pedestrian and bicycle centered projects. Mr. Howell mentioned that the MetroPlan Orlando Bicycle and Pedestrian Advisory Committee would be dissolved in the next two (2) years, and the responsibilities of the Committee would then be handled by other MetroPlan Orlando Committees, and he would soon know how the City might be affected. Furthermore, Mr. Howell explained that MetroPlan Orlando disperses the federal funds through a "Prioritized Project List". Currently, there are thirty (30) projects on the list and the City of Winter Springs has two (2) projects on this list, and our projects are ranked in importance at number twenty-two(22) and number twenty-four(24).
