One of numerous requests was an exclusivE <br />pedestrian phase at certain, high capacity intersections. FDOT studied this suggestion and is <br />recommending to move forward with this improvement at the following intersections along State <br />Road Alk 172 Street, 174 Street, 178 Street and 183 Street. <br />An exclusive pedestrian phase signalization will require all vehicles to be stopped as pedestrians cross. <br />This keeps pedestrians safe from left and right turning vehicles. <br />The attached resolution for our approval is to accept their findings and support their recommendation <br />so as to move this project forward. <br />ADDITIONAL INFORMATION: <br />I thank FDOT for their cooperation and generosity with their time to meet with us and work througr <br />the numerous initiatives we brought forward. Working with both the MAPSAC and our traffic <br />engineers, we have a long list of potential improvements and we look forward to continuing our <br />working relationship with FDOT to bring more ideas like this to fruition. <br />ATTACHMENTS: <br />Resolution <br />Item Number: 10.A <br />7 <br />
