Productivity Committee Airport Road Flyover Subcommittee Minutes 06/27/2003 Subject: Minutes of Airport Road Flyover Subcommittee
Following are minutes of the subcommittee meeting held Friday, June 27, 2003:
The meeting was called to order at 1:00 pm in the County Manager's Office. In attendance were
Richard Schmidt, Dex Groose, Joe Swaja, and Joe Mumaw. Joe S. was elected Chairman. The
objective of the Subcommittee is to formulate a position to present to the Productivity Committee
on whether the Airport Road Flyover is the best option for addressing the traffic increase
introduced by the new State interchange to be constructed at I75 and Golden Gate Parkway in
2006. It was the consensus that additional information is needed. The committee will attempt to
quantify the net reduction in delay times associated with various corridor solutions per$1,000,000
of capital investment. To do this, additional information is needed from the Transportation
Department. To the end, each sub-committee member will submit their questions to Pat Lehnhard
by July 11, who will be asked to forward them to the proper recipient. The submittals will copy
each subcommittee member. A copy of the presentation made at the June meeting was also not
available for review. Winona Stone agreed to request this data again. There was a question
whether a traffic signal will still be in existence at the Bears Paw/Estuary Entrances, in the design
of the flyover, and if yes, what impact it would have on the smooth flow of Eastbound traffic on
Golden Gate Parkway. We could not recall if this was evident in the Transportation Model
presented at our June meeting. The Sub-Committee will meet again, to be scheduled after
submittal of questions, and receipt of answers.
