Transportation Planners and CRA staff about improving Shadowlawn Drive

entire design and construction improvements; however, Ms. Trone successfully
negotiated a 50%-50% cost share in the design and permitting cost of the"to be
selected" roadway design. The cost of construction will be determined at a later
date. A fully-designed road project (shovel ready) enables projects to respond
quickly to Federal and State FDOT road grants, and increases their likelihood of
approval/funding. Motion for CRA staff to move forward and conduct public

cost estimate, and return to the CRA-AB for review and approval: Mr. Gunther.
