City Council Workshop Meeting • February 21, 2023
Minutes • Page 2 of 2
program implementation: City Planner Harris provided a brief overview of the Item. KHA
Professional Engineers Colleen McGue and Amber Gartner made the presentation to Council.
Discussion ensued and included City Manager Morley's correction to the illustration of signage
on slide 10 of the presentation to ensure those actual signs will read "No Golf Carts...", desire to
amend the Golf Cart Network Map after Oak Lane gets paved, reasons for and impacts of limited
places to cross State Road A1A in golf carts, many other cities in Florida having been
grandfathered in before new guidelines were adopted, the City's jurisdiction over its own
roadways, whether Port Canaveral has its own golf cart policy or not, several points of interest in
traveling to the Port from the City by golf cart, KHA's determination there is no safe place to turn
a golf cart around at the northern end of North Atlantic Avenue into Port Canaveral due to heavy
traffic and private property. Shannon Roberts, resident, discussed concerns regarding heavy North
Atlantic Avenue traffic related to cruise terminals and space launches, the dangers of electric
scooters, and the several lights out on the roadway. Council Member Willis indicated the Study is
a recommendation, which the City is not bound to, and thanked Ms. McGue and Ms. Gartner for
the presentation. Lisa Elam, resident, discussed support and appreciation to Council for the Study.
Discussion ensued and included how private developments such as Portside Villas and Villages of
Seaport are not included in the Study due to the fact those are private streets not controlled by
the City, and the idea of having KHA assist the City with implementation schedules. City Planner
Harris discussed the plan for next steps from Staff's perspective involve implementation schedules,
registration and enforcement. C+ED Deputy Director/Sustainability Manager Eichholz discussed
how golf carts will not be swarming the streets until more work is done and there will be many
opportunities for public education moving forward.
