Committee reviews mockup and FDOT coordination for expressway underpass cleanup
Summary
Members approved a mockup for cleanup/beautification at a site near the bridge and discussed the need for a construction/structure survey from FDOT before work begins to avoid utilities issues.
The committee reviewed a design mockup for cleanup and beautification at a site near the Palmetto Expressway bridge and discussed next steps for coordination with the Florida Department of Transportation (FDOT). A committee member said the council approved a mockup and that town staff indicated approval is pending FDOT direction. Committee members recommended obtaining a structure and construction survey from FDOT before work begins so the town does not inadvertently damage cabling or underground utilities. One committee member described the site as an “eyesore” where people park and leave items and noted previous instances of vehicles being used as informal living spaces; members asked the assistant town manager and FDOT contacts to advise on permit and survey requirements. There was no formal vote; the item will return to the committee once FDOT guidance and any necessary surveys are obtained.
