As I hope you already are aware, the Flamingo Park Neighborhood Association has been largely successful in advancing a program for the improvement of the neighborhood infrastructure. The program includes basic upgrades to infrasturcure such as water, sewer, and storm water drainage. It also includes an ambitious program to develop a more attractive, more pedestrian friendly stretscape.
The program calls for narrower traffic lanes, wider sidewalks and swales, increased shade trees, and bulb-outs at the intersection to reduce the walking distance across traffic lanes. The proposed bulbouts has drawn the attention of the Fire Department and concern about the turning radius. This represents a significant challenge by the Fire Department to the use and design of bulbouts at the intersection. The Administration has called for a Field Test to examine the concerns raised. We will more fully discuss the matter at the Stakeholders Meeting on December 6th.
Your presence is cordially invited. Your advice and counsel is earnestly sought.
