Mr. Hanson:
Identified below are the responses to the City Commissioners' TIP questions at the April 24 Atlantic
Beach City Commission Meeting (responses are in blue):
. Due to the number of construction projects at the Beaches and East Arlington will there be
coordination to avoid significant traffic delays?
It is my understanding that monthly coordination meetings are held to discuss transportation
projects and that the transportation agencies try to do their best to coordinate projects to reduce
delay. Unfortunately, sometime traffic delays happen when there is construction even when
making your best efforts.
. Will hurricane evacuation be considered during the construction of projects at the Beaches?
It is my understanding that FDOT has a clause in their construction contracts that when an
evacuation order is given that all usable travel lanes have to be cleared within a given time
period.
. What is included in the traffic signal update project on Mayport Road from Atlantic Blvd to
Wonderwood Drive
The scope of this project is to redesign eight (8) existing signals along S.R. 101/A1A and
replace controller cabinets at two (2) additional locations along the corridor. The redesigned
intersections will comprise new mast arm signals. All ten (10) controller cabinets will be
'""" designed to accommodate new fiber optic cable which will run along the length of the project
corridor and incorporate all ten (10) signals into the City of Jacksonville's Closed Loop traffic
Signal System.
. There is a dip on Mayport Road north of Wonderwood Drive will this be corrected in the
resurfacing project of Old Mayport Road? The City has been in contact with the Governor's
Office. The Navy is very supportive of this too.
