Agenda 05/25/2021 Item #16A 9 (Resolution - Logan Boulevard Extension Truck Operations)05/25/2021
EXECUTIVE SUMMARY
Recommendation to approve a Resolution prohibiting the operations of trucks and other
commercial vehicles having a rated load-carrying capacity in excess of five (5) tons from through
movements on Logan Boulevard Extension from Immokalee Road to the Lee County Line.
OBJECTIVE: To prohibit the operation of trucks and other commercial vehicles having a rated load-
carrying capacity in excess of five (5) tons from through movements on Logan Boulevard from
Immokalee Road to the Lee County Line.
CONSIDERATIONS: On March 23, 2021, the Board received a report of the commercial truck use of
Logan Boulevard Extension, north of Immokalee Road and heard public comment associated with such.
The Board directed the County Attorney’s Office to bring back options. On April 13, 2021, options
were presented to the Board and the Board directed staff to bring forward a Resolution prohibiting
through truck traffic on Logan Boulevard Extension north of Immokalee Road to Bonita Beach Road.
County staff has coordinated with the City of Bonita Springs Public Works Department. To date, the
City of Bonita Springs has not taken any action as it relates to truck traffic on their portion of Logan
Boulevard. County staff has also discussed this issue with Lee County Department of Transportation
staff, who have indicated they are agreeable to install signage notifying trucks of the prohibition on
Bonita Beach Road prior to the roundabout at Logan Boulevard, as Bonita Beach Road is under their
jurisdiction. Based on the Florida Statutes, Chapter 316, the Board of County Commissioners is
permitted to prohibit or regulate any class or kind of traffic found to be incompatible with the normal
and safe movement of traffic on roads and streets under its jurisdiction. Section 130-3(a) of the Code of
Laws and Ordinances of Collier County currently provides that “No person shall operate any truck or
other commercial vehicle with a rated capacity in excess of one ton upon any road or street in the county
whenever such road or street is posted with signs prohibiting such operation…” This Section of the
Code of Laws and Ordinances is in the process of being updated to include both one ton and five tons.
A weight restriction of one ton is deemed to be too limiting for certain classifications of roadways in
Collier County. The one ton restriction prohibits several models of pickup trucks from traveling on
roadways.
FISCAL IMPACT: The fiscal impact associated with this item will be the cost of design, materials, and
installation associated with signage necessary to prohibit the trucks and commercial vehicles as described
and is estimated at $1,500. Funding is available within Transportation Operating Fund (101).
GROWTH MANAGEMENT IMPACT: This action will result in no growth management impact.
LEGAL CONSIDERATIONS: This item has been reviewed by the County Attorney, is approved as to
form and legality and requires majority vote for approval. -JAK
RECOMMENDATION: That the Board approve a resolution prohibiting the operation of trucks and
other commercial vehicles having a rated load-carrying capacity in excess of five tons from through
movements on Logan Boulevard Extension from Immokalee Road to the Lee County Line.
