TITLE: Price Boulevard Widening Project between Sumter Boulevard and Toledo Blade Boulevard, Two-Way Bi-Directional (Center) Turn Lane and Dedicated Left Turn Lanes - Stamped Concrete and Posted Speed Limit
Recommended Action
Provide staff with direction on the use of stamped concrete for the two-way bi-directional (center) turn lane and the dedicated left turn lanes for the Price Boulevard Widening Project between Sumter Boulevard and Toledo Blade Boulevard.
Background Information
During the Governing Body of the Road and Drainage District Meeting held on May 14, 2019, the Commission approved the following consensuses:
1. There was a consensus for staff to research the cost difference for using stamped concrete in the center lane.
2. There was a consensus for staff to get estimates to have the entire center lane in stamped concrete, with and without the turn lanes, and provide artist renderings to show the visual distinction of where the turn lanes will be.
3. There was a consensus that the side roads crossing over Price Boulevard will have an asphalt surface.
4. There was a consensus for staff to provide a memo to the Commission with information based direction provided in today's consensuses.
The Commission also requested that staff obtain examples of concrete stamping patterns, colors and costs to consider for possible use on the Price Boulevard Widening Project's center dual left turn lane and dedicated left turn lane on the Price Boulevard legs of the three signalized intersections. The stamped concrete would be in place of asphalt pavement. Staff has the following information for the Commission's consideration:
