A RESOLUTION REQUESTING THE FLORIDA DEPARTMENT OF
TRANSPORTATION TO PLAN FOR REPLACEMENT OF THE SR528
BRIDGE ON INDIAN RIVER WITH A SIX LANE CONFIGURATION
WHEREAS, the City of Cape Canaveral relies heavily upon SR 528 as a
connection to neighboring cities; and
WHEREAS, SR 528 is a primary access for residents and businesses within
the Cape Canaveral city limits; and
WHEREAS, SR 528 is one of Brevard County's critical westbound hurricane
evacuation routes, which even with current population levels have proven
inadequate; and
WHEREAS, the Florida Department of Transportation has included in the
5 -year Transportation Plan a study to widen SR 528 to six lanes between SR Al
and 1 -95; and
WHEREAS, the Florida Department of Transportation has included in the 5-
year Transportation Plan the placement of the westbound bridge over the Indian
River in FY 2004 due to condition and obsolescence; and
WHEREAS, the Advance Notification package for this project describes this
project as the replacement of a 2 -lane bridge with a 2 -lane bridge; and
WHEREAS, the City Council of the City of Cape Canaveral is concerned that
the 2 -lane Replacement Bridge is not consistent with increased traffic expectations
on SR 528 and the re- construction of the bridge may result in excessive delays.
