Ms. ArBsteh said thoro hon bonn n doluy In tho committee recommended 'installation
of candlesticks, Intended to fareD rlght-Iona roundobout traffic to exit at Coronado. Staff
plans to install the easily removablo cnndlostlcks, striping and change the lane assignment
signs on Thursday night. A flashing massago board on Mandalay will explain the change to
southbound motorists. It was recommonded the message also state this is an experiment
that will end on January 15, 2001. Concern was expressed the proposed change would
result in a catastrophe as some drivers are afraid of tho Inside lane. It was noted traffIc
backs up behind drivers who are timid about onterlng the roundabout from the left lane. It
was recommended the sequence for the traffic signal regulating traffIc from the Causeway
be reduced from 8 minutes.
Roundabout Lighting
In his November 13, 2000 memorandum, Mr. Bertels stated the Illumination
Engineering Society of North America Indicates the lighting requirement for a high activity
roadway averages two candle power per square foot of vehicle use area. While the
roundabout is a lTIedium activity roadway, the current lighting system meets the higher
level requirement. All pedestrian walks, the greenspace adjacent to Pier 60 Park, and new
marina parking lots also are required to have an average of two candle power per square
foot of use area. These areas have been tested with a light meter and have been
determined to be in illumination compliance.
{.&\
.;/:!~'
Mr. Bertels said Florida Power, which had provided the current roundabout lights,
indicated they cannot be changed to a higher intensity. The lights must bo replaced or
multiplied. It was stated nearby light pollution makes the road appear dark. Concern was
expressed that it is difficult to see pedestrians in the crosswalks at night. It was
suggested the roundabout could be lighted by high intensity floodlights installed by the City
on the roofs of nearby buildings. It was recommended a lighting expert be contacted.
Radio Broadcasts
It was suggested the committee consider broadcasting information related to
tourism, parking, and the roundabout to motorists approaching the beach. Staff is working
to obtain funds to install a message board on the Causeway. Concern was expressed few
drivers would tune into the broadcast.
ITEM #3 - Discussion - Cost Breakdown for Each Modification
The cost breakdowns provided by David Nelson Construction were distributed.
Concern was expressed the costs were not listed in the format useful to the committee.
Ms. Arasteh said the contractor had provided a "not to exceed" bid. The firm will provide
refined numbers within days. It was felt the cost for each entrance should be listed
separately so the committee can prioritize its recommendations. The bid does not include
costs to reduce the fountain's size. Ms. Arasteh said David Nelson Construction was the
contractor who oversaw the original construction of tho roundabout and is familiar with the
location of underground utilities. A sub-contractor constructed the fountain to City
specifications.

. It was stated physical errors must be corrected to facilitate truck traffic. Concern
was expressed Barry Crown's recommendation to realign Mandalay would be ineffective
and expensive. It was stated thero have been no accidents related to the crosswalks, even,
though Mr. Crown feels they are too close to the roundabout. In response to a question,
. Ms. Arasteh said the project cou!d not bogln until the City Commission has approved it. It
was recommended construction be delayed until after Spring Break.
Concern was expressed the bid soelTls very high, including a charge to mobilize
,equipment. Mr. Bertels said Increasing the radii will require significant electrical work to
relocate electrical, conduits for landscaping Iight.ing. It was recommended the speakers be
eliminated. In response to a comment. Ms. Arasteh said the maintenance of traffic is
smoother during a construction project when the contractor handles it. She will invite the
firm to the next meeting to discuss the bid. It was suggested following the City's bid
process would result in a more competitive bid. It was stated another bid could not
guarantee savings.
, ,Concern was expressed the proposed changes will not correct the problem
,motorists have accessing Poinsettia. It was requested that staff share their
recommendations and priorities with the committee. Discussion ensued regarding
recommended changes.
Member Littler moved to recommend the City Commission evaluBte the roundabout
'.;.' \ after Spring Break and not initiate any changes until then. The motion was duly seconded.
(~;~ ':~ Further discussion ensued and there was no vote.
ITEM #4 - Discussion - Education Model
It was recommended the Committee review the education model after changes to
the roundabout are decided. Copies of the educational recommendations listed in
Roundabouts: An Information Guide, published by USDOT and the Federal Highway
Administration will be distributed.
ITEM #5 - Discussion - Waive Rule of Absences
Member Brown said he was embarrassed regarding his absences and reviewed his
recent Itineraries and activities. .
Member Hamilton moved to waive the committee rule regarding member absences.
The motion was duly seconded and carried unanimously.
ITEM #6 - New Business
It was requested staff price the cost of colored lenses to make the fountain more
colorful. It was suggested adding color to the fountaIn lights would be attractive for the
holidays and may decrease the glare.
