HomeMy WebLinkAboutC.054.93011_14596. Request from the Sheriffs Department for Approval of a Resolution Requesting
that State Road 1854lHuie Road Remain Open for Public Use (entire roadway): County
Manager Mashburn said Sheriff Redmond had sent a letter requesting assistance in preserving
State Road 1854/Huie Road as a roadway, open in its entirety, for public use. He said bridge
repairs were estimated at $100,000 while total replacement would cost $1.5 million. Mashburn
said the Department of Transportation felt total replacement would soon be needed, and for this
reason, the state was contemplating permanent road closure at each end of the bridge. He said
Sheriff Redmond felt that closing the bridge in this manner would impede emergency response
vehicles and cause delays in responding to emergencies. The approved resolution is as follows:
