Bicycle Pedestrian Advisory Board · 2026-07-21 · agenda

[SE 8th Avenue; case 2026-283] The Bicycle Pedestrian Advisory Board (BPAB) discussed the 30% plans for a shared use path on SE 8th Avenue. The project is estimated to cost $1,000,000 and the contractor has not yet been selected, likely to be done under a Continuing Services contract. The board suggested adding more crosswalks, benches, trash receptacles, and bicycle repair stations, and inquired about landscaping and lighting. Public comment included questions about project cost and contractor selection. The board recommended receiving the information and providing feedback to City staff. [case 2026-284] The BPAB recommended approval of the finalized FY26/28 Unified Planning Work Program. Staff explained that the 2.5% set-aside for complete streets projects is an FDOT minimum, and past documentation was not readily available. [case 2026-285] The BPAB recommended approval of an amendment to the FY26/30 Transportation Improvement Program (TIP). This is an FDOT project for resurfacing, with existing roadway striping to be replaced as-is. An amendment was added to mandate that future FDOT resurfacing projects include efforts to improve the safety of vulnerable road users. [case 2026-286] The BPAB recommended approval of the draft FY26/27 to FY30/31 Transportation Improvement Program. Concerns were expressed regarding pavement condition performance measures being less than 100%, which staff explained was based on funding availability. Staff also clarified that the focus on maintenance over expansion is related to reducing maintenance needs, but removing roadways is unlikely.
