RECOMMENDATION:

Recommendation Concerning Traffic Restrictions - Truck Prohibition on River Annex Road - Joy D. Blackmon, P.E., Public Works Department Director

That the Board take the following action concerning Traffic Restrictions - Truck Prohibition on River Annex Road:

A. Adopt a Resolution establishing a vehicle weight restriction on River Annex Road, from Muscogee Road to Jacks Branch Road - no trucks in excess of 10,500 pounds gross vehicle weight, except trucks servicing or having business within the described area; and

B. Authorize the Chairman to sign the Resolution.

[Funding Source: Fund 175, Transportation Trust Fund, Cost Center 211201, Account Code 53401, for sign installations]

BACKGROUND:

The Board is authorized under Sections 316.006 (3) (a,b); 316.008 (1) (m,n) and 316.555 of the Florida Statutes (2004) to establish regulations on county roadways and streets.

Chapter 94, Article 1, Section 94-1 of the Escambia County Code of Ordinances authorizes the County Engineer to place limits on the size and/or class of vehicles on county roadways and streets. This authorization requires the County Engineer to file for Board ratification by Resolution, quarterly, a list of all limitation orders established under this section.

It was determined that establishing a vehicle weight restriction on River Annex Road is reasonable and necessary for public safety and convenience based on the intersection geometrics, restrictive width of roadway, condition of travel surface, and potential shoulder hazards.

BUDGETARY IMPACT:

Funds are budgeted in Fund 175, Transportation Trust Fund, Cost Center 211201, Account Code 53401, for sign installations.
