improvements along Rice Street including reconstruction of the Rice StreebTH 36 <br />interchange. Timing of these improvements is based primarily on availability of funding to <br />complete Che projects. <br />5. The traffic study summary and conclusions recommend the installation of a double left turn <br />lane with signal modifications on westbound County Road B2 at Rice Street. The County <br />concurs with this recommendation with the following additions: <br />a. The study recommends that this improvement be done in conjunction with the general <br />upgrade of Rice Street that is in the planning stages at this time. While this may be a <br />logical scenario the City should encumber funding from the developer to pay for this <br />portion of the future Rice Street work since the need for the double left is generated by <br />traffic from the expansion. <br />b. The County also recommends that the EAW look at other interim measures that do not <br />include widening to the County Road B2 at Rice Street intersection such as split phasing. <br />The trip generation from the expansion will likely happen prior to the reconstruction of <br />Rice Street and interim measures may be necessary at County Road B2. <br />Thanks for the opportunity to make comments regarding this issue.
