The first s1lbject introduced by Chairman Hester~ was the proposed
terminus of' the spur of the Intorstate High"ra~{ Sy.stem" It. l.s no\tl planned
to ter"minate "this spur a.t a junction t'li'ch U.. S" Higln'lay 19 at Pinellas
Park. 'rhe cr.airm.s.n pointed out. that this l'TOuld dump all of the traffic
:from 'tho Interstate highway spur onto U 0 3" 19 and increo.se the volume
of traffic on U.. s. 19 beyond j.ta capacit.y ~ Mr" Hester ntl'ongly

recommends tha't the spur should be extondod an a limited acceso highway
into St. Peterab\u'g on one of the prin.cj.ple north and south streets.
This vlill prevent traffic destined for Be. Pett1r3btll"~ .from overloading
U. S. 19 and will ,permit traffic destined for Clearwater and other
points to reach their objectives 1'1ithout di.r1'iculty.
This matter was vie\~d favorably by many of the repre~entatives at
the meeting and Mr., Hester requested 'that t~hey discuss it with the
governing bodies of ,their respective municipalities. He is in hopes
that the municipalities will endorse his proposal and send i'ormal
resolutions f'avoring it to him :Ln tho next few days ~ He 1\"ill for\'/ard
these resolutions with recommendations he is making on the routing of'
the Interstate Highway.
Next Mr. Bell explained in some detail "the: work that. had been
done in collecting data to plan future hight'o'aYs .for Pinel~as County..
Approxa 147~OOO drivers have been interviewed, machine county have been
made, data has been collected on wa~er and electrical meter installations,
on school population growth, and many other .fact.ors that vr.ill indi~ate
gro\'lth trends e Thi,s data is now being' processed ill IBM machines in
Atlanta and Mro Bell proposed to presen'c the conclusions reached at the
next meeting o:f thJ.s body ~ His conclusions and report will be ready
one vleek from thin date and i.n order to avoid 1033 of time he \'lOuld like
to present them to the group foT.' dlscuDsion as quickly the:ceai'ter as
possible.
