Summary Explanation and Background:
On September 22, 2021, the Board approved the budget of Public Works, which included Road Construction and Resurfacing. Funding for this project is available in the Repair and Maintenance Fund 1170 and 1131 with $300,000.00 from Constitutional Gas Tax and District 1 MSTU allocation of $136,000.00. However, this budget did not identify the project by name and thus Board approval is being sought.
The James Jay Clark Pedestrian Crossover Bridge is located just south of the intersection of Indian Trail and U.S. highway No. 1 in Sharpes, FL. This recoating project is needed due to age and weathering of the crossover. The project involves protective recoating of the existing pedestrian bridge together with minor electrical lighting and handrail repairs. This bridge serves as a primary access route for local school children attending Fairglen Elementary School. Alternate route arrangements will be made so that the bridge may be closed temporarily to conduct work while maintaining a safe route to the school.
