a. Speed Study, Dan Hall, Collier County Transportation Division- Mr. Hall
presented the data that was taken from the speed study which indicated the
average speed on Bayshore Drive was 41.5 miles an hour. There was a lot of
questions and doubt from the community and the board members because they
all walk and bike. The roadway is so dangerous due to the speeding traffic
some community members stopped biking and walking. Ms. Scott mentioned
the Access Management Plan and this could include some traffic calming
measures which would slow down traffic. The Transportation Department will
be reviewing the plan in July and they are coming around to the idea of closing
off some of the medians and having small roundabouts. After their review staff
will bring it back for further discussion.
