BACKGROUND:

Tara Dawn Circle is the entrance into Maple Oaks Subdivision, located off Ten Mile Road. In order to improve traffic mobility, a left turn lane from Maple Oaks Subdivision to Ten Mile Road is necessary. Currently, the entrance has two lanes, one in and one out, which are divided by a median. The median is currently owned by SunTrust Bank and the bank has agreed to donate it to the County to help with the intersection improvements. Once the project is completed, motorists will have right and left turn lane options from Tara Dawn Circle onto Ten Mile Road.

BUDGETARY IMPACT:

Funds for incidental expenses associated with recording of documents are available in an Engineering Escrow Account accessed by the Escambia County Clerk's Office.
