Agenda 12/08/2015 Item #16D2012/8/2015 16.D.20.
EXECUTIVE SUMMARY
Recommendation to approve an out -of -cycle Collier County Tourist Development Council
Category "A" grant application for Beach Park Facilities in the amount of $7,200 from Florida
State Parks to provide funding for mobile toll booths that will help expedite traffic into Delnor-
Wiggins State Park and to make the finding that the expenditure promotes tourism.
OBJECTIVE: To use tourist development taxes to fund the purchase of mobile tollbooths to assist
Delnor- Wiggins State Park in expediting guests entering the park during high- traffic times.
CONSIDERATIONS: For many years, the intersection of Gulf Shore Drive and Bluebill Avenue has
been congested during the height of tourist season. During the months of January through April;
holidays; and weekends, the intersection becomes clogged due to traffic entering Delnor- Wiggins State
Park. Recent construction of a circle driveway and bathroom facility by Collier County Government have
improved conditions; however, during these peak times, vehicles /patrons accessing the Park cause traffic
to stack from the entrance to the State Park on Bluebill beyond the bridge that connects from Conner Park
to Delnor- Wiggins State Park.
Recently, a workgroup was established by the County Manager's Office to address this issue. The Collier
County Sheriff's Office, Florida Fish and Wildlife Conservation Commission, Florida State Park
personnel, County Transportation staff and County Parks and Recreation staff met to conceptualize
solutions to this issue.
The workgroup has detennined that potential traffic safety issues are created on Bluebill Bridge by
vehicles attempting to enter Delnor- Wiggins State Park when the Park opens and after the Park reaches
capacity. This proposal seeks to address the problem of patrons entering the Park at opening; the
workgroup will continue to work on a solution for when the Park reaches capacity.
The work group is recommending an idea proposed by the State Park staff to fund the purchase of two
Mobile Toll Booths that would be placed at the northern end of the median where the ranger station
currently sits to allow two lanes of queuing space. This will result in queuing space for sixteen additional
vehicles. These booths will be owned, operated, and maintained by the Park during the morning "rush" to
get vehicles into the park faster.
The State Park will also open the park a half -hour to an hour earlier than currently, but no earlier than
sunrise. Term of this Agreement shall be effective on December 8, 2015, and shall remain effective until
ninety (90) days after completion of the Project described in the Agreement, but no later than April 30,
2016.
FISCAL IMPACT: Sufficient funds are available for the grant discussed herein in TDC Beach Park
Facilities Fund (183) in Project No. 80143 ( Delnor- Wiggins Entrance).
GROWTH MANAGEMENT IMPACT: There is no impact to the Growth Management Plan related to
this action.
LEGAL CONSIDERATIONS: This item has been approved as to form and legality and requires
majority vote for approval. — CMG

Traffic Safety issue created on Bluebill bridge by patrons attempting to enter Wiggins
State Park at Park opening and after Park reaches capacity. This proposal seeks to
address the problem of patrons entering the Park at opening and the workgroup will
continue to work on when the Park reaches capacity.
Utilizing two (2) Mobile Toll Booths that would be placed at the northern end of the
median where the current ranger station currently sits to allow two lanes of queuing
space. This would potentially result in an increased queuing space of 16 additional
vehicles. These booths would be manned by park staff during the morning "rush" to get
vehicles into the park faster.
The State Park would open. the park a half hour to an hour earlier than currently but no
earlier than sunrise.
Construction of 2 mobile toll booths. These toll booths will be 4'x6' on the same size trailer
with 2 windows a door, electric outlets inside for a cash register and 6,000 Btu air
conditioner.
These toll booths will be part of project to increase speed at which we will service visitors
entering Delnor Wiggins Pass State Park. They will be moved behind the existing Ranger
Station approximately 175' into the Park to allow for more vehicles to get off of Bluebill
Avenue and into the park. This will increase visitor accessibility to the Park and be used
during its peak visitation days during Tourist Season and busy weekends and holidays.

Option #1 Maximize current operation by adding Annual Pass lane.
Open the park one half hour to 1 hour earlier. No earlier than sunrise so visitors can see
where they are going. That should help alleviate any back up outside of the front gate
occurring currently by 8:00am.
Remove wooden barrier posts. Put up cones instead (traffic cones for trial). Remove
current parking on east side of entry lane north of Ranger Station and turn that into an
Annual Pass / cash only lane with signage and temporary traffic cones to show lanes.
Extra OPS would staff 2 mobile toll booths. One additional staff would be posted at the
point where the one lane splits into 2 to tell drivers which lane to move to and help
reduce confusion due to changes taking place. The 2 lanes will create a queuing area for
approximately 16 + vehicles. The regular lane would be for cash /credit cards and motor
homes, boats and trailers, regular vehicles. The second lane to the east would be for
annual passes/ cash and cars, pickup trucks/ and vans only to move them through
quickly.
The toll booths will be situated near the end of the existing island. (North approximately
175 feet north from where the one lane splits into 2). See diagram.
There will need to be 2: 4'x4' signs made. One on the left lane that says," Credit Cards
or Cash, Boats & Trailers, Large trucks, regular vehicles ". The right lane will say," Annual
Pass or Cash, regular vehicles & Pick up trucks ".
The Ranger Station door used for regular business will be dosed and covered with the
hurricane roll down. A sign stating to "proceed to the toll booth" will be mounted here.
If annual passes want to be renewed ask them to purchase upon exiting or make a U-
turn at the end of the island and park in the exit parking area on the west side of the
Ranger Station.
The goal to get early morning traffic into the park so it can reach capacity quicker and
help eliminate the backup of vehicles trying to enter the park all at once. Once capacity
is reached then it is back to normal operation. C.C. S.O. will turn traffic outside of gate
on the intersection of Bluebill and Gulfshore pr. until approximately 10% of the parking
spaces are empty to allow more to enter.
Since no permanent toll booth would be allowed per county review, a small mobile air
conditioned toll booth set up for a cash register and credit card machine would suffice.

Recently, a workgroup was established by the Collier County Deputy County Manager to
address this issue. The Collier County Sheriffs Office, State Park personnel, County
Transportation staff and County Parks and Recreation staff met to conceptualize solutions
to this issue. Ideas that were created from this workgroup included:.
Traffic Safety issue created on Bluebill bridge by patrons attempting to enter Wiggins
State Park at Park opening and after Park reaches capacity. This proposal seeks to
address the problem of patrons entering the Park at opening and the workgroup will
continue to work on when the Park reaches capacity.
1ltilir_ing two (2) Mobile Toll Booths that would be placed at the northern end of the
median where the current ranger station currently sits to allow two lanes of queuing
space. This would potentially result in an increased queuing space of 16 additional
vehicles. These booths would be manned by park staff during the morning "rush" to get
vehicles into the park faster.
The State Park would open the park a half hour to an hour earlier than currently but no
earlier than sunrise.
Construction oft mobile toll booths. These toll booths wil I be 4'x6' on the same size trailer
with 2 windows a door, electric outlets inside for a cash register and 6,000 Biu air -
conditioner.
These toll booths will be part of a project to increase speed at which we will service visitors
entering Delnor Wiggins Pass State Park. They will be moved behind the existing Ranger
Station approximately 175' into the Park to allow for more vehicles to bet off of Bluchili
Avenue and into the park. This will increase visitor accessibility to the Park and be used
during its peak visitation days during Tourist Season and busy weekends and holidays.

EXHIBIT A
Option #1 Maximize current operation by adding Annual Pass lane.
Open the park one half hour to 1 hour earlier. No earlier than sunrise so visitors can see
where they are going. That should help alleviate any back up outside of the front gate
occurring currently by 8:00am.
Remove wooden barrier posts. Put up cones instead (traffic cones for trial). Remove
current parking on east side of entry lane north of Ranger Station and turn that into an
Annual Pass / cash only lane with signage and temporary traffic cones to show lanes.
Extra OPS would staff 2 mobile toll booths. One additional staff would be posted at the
point where the one lane splits into 2 to tell drivers which lane to move to and help
reduce confusion due to changes taking place. The 2 lanes will create a queuing area for
approximately 16 + vehicles. The regular lane would be for cash /credit cards and motor
homes, boats and trailers, regular vehicles. The second lane to the east would be for
annual passes/ cash and cars, pickup trucks/ and vans only to move them through
quickly.
The toll booths will be situated near the end of the existing island. (North approximately
175 feet north from where the one lane splits into 2). See diagram.
There will need to be 2: 4'x4' signs made. One on the left lane that says," Credit Cards
or Cash, Boats & Trailers, Large trucks, regular vehicles ". The right lane will say," Annual
Pass or Cash, regular vehicles & Pick up trucks"
The Ranger Station door used for regular business will be closed and covered with the
hurricane roll down. A sign stating to "proceed to the toll booth" will be mounted here.
If annual passes want to be renewed ask them to purchase upon exiting or make a U-
turn at the end of the island and park in the exit parking area on the west side of the
Ranger Station.
The goal to get early morning traffic into the park so it can reach capacity quicker and
help eliminate the backup of vehicles trying to enter the park ail at once. Once capacity
Is reached then it is back to normal operation. C.C.S.O. will turn traffic outside of gate
on the Intersection of Bluebill and Gulfshore Dr. until approximately 10% of the parking
spaces are empty to allow more to enter.
Since no permanent toll booth would be allowed per county review, a small mobile air
conditioned toll booth set up for a cash register and credit card machine would suffice.
