Ordinance/Resolution: A RESOLUTION OF THE CITY COMMISSION OF THE CITY OF WEST PALM BEACH, FLORIDA, AUTHORIZING A LETTER OF SUPPORT FOR THE APPLICATION FOR LANE ELIMINATION FOR SOUTH DIXIE HIGHWAY; AUTHORIZING SUBMITTAL OF AN GRANT APPLICATION THROUGH THE PALM BEACH COUNTY METROPOLITAN PLANNING ORGANIZATION FOR A LOCAL INITIATIVE GRANT TO BE USED FOR THE SOUTH DIXIE HIGHWAY ROADWAY IMPROVEMENTS; PROVIDING AN EFFECTIVE DATE; AND FOR OTHER PURPOSES. Staff Recommended Motion: Approve Resolution No. 80-16. Background: Staff is proposing to submit a Lane Elimination Application to the Florida Department of Transportation to reduce two (2) lanes on Dixie Highway from Albermarle Road to Okeechobee Boulevard. BACKGROUND: Dixie Highway (SR 805/SR 5/US 1) is a north-south minor arterial that parallels Parker Avenue, Olive Avenue and Flagler Drive as well local streets Lake Avenue and Georgia Avenue. This section of Dixie Highway is a four-lane undivided roadway facility (two (2) lanes in each direction) with no median. Left-turn lanes are present at Albemarle Road and Belvedere Road. The remainder of the segment does not have left-turn lanes and left-turns occur from the inside through lane. The northern end of the segment is predominantly institutional use that includes Palm Beach Atlantic University, the Norton Museum of art and the Woodlawn Cemetery. The middle portion of the segment is characterized by predominantly retail/commercial uses with relatively narrow lot depth. Behind the commercial use are many of the older West Palm Beach neighborhoods. The southern end of the segment from Belvedere Road to Albemarle Road is generally commercial on the east side with single family residential

AGENDA COVER MEMORANDUM Page 2 C.M. # Date: behind it. The West side is primarily commercial office and industrial. The properties on the west side are larger while some are stable in their current business others may be redeveloped within the 20 year planning horizon.

As a necessary step to a program access plan to provide accessibility under the ADA, state and local government, public entities or agencies are required to perform self-evaluations of their current facilities, relative the accessibility requirements of the ADA. The agencies are then required to develop a Program Access Plan, which can be called a Transition Plan, to address any deficiencies.
