Surf related due to getting you in the water slower as a result of these road "upgrades". OK, so pretty obvious how I feel about this debacle. I have not talked to anyone that is in favor of how any of this is being implemented. I really liked the idea of adding medians and crosswalks, but the FDOT has done a royally horrendous job IMO. Somehow, there seems to be no accountability to the cities or county. FDOT just seems to get to do things however poorly they want and, no matter how screwed up it is, no one has any authority to halt them and get things done correctly.
A few examples: - placing new medians right over existing medians from 20 or more years ago. For example, at Pinetree (by Lowes) the left turn lane heading North always backs up into A1A. They had ample room to make the turn lane 3 times longer than it is was to fit more cars, yet they poured it in the same exact footprint as the old one. Not to mention it actually sticks out into the lane. - medians are placed in areas that dont have enough room for cars to slow without almost coming to a stop on A1A first, this clogging traffic even more on A1A. - crosswalks were put in places pedestrians wont use. If you walk down your street to cross A1A, if you have to walk 50 yards south/north to the crosswalk, no one is going to use it. - the crosswalks are now mandatory car stops on A1A. This is impractical for this section of A1A where people are goiing 50+ mph to stop 4 lanes of traffic. IMO its a deathwish to walk out in front of a stopped car on A1A. - the south entrance/exit was blocked with a median at Pelican Park so cars from the south entrance can no longer turn South. Yet, the angled parking in Pelican forces you to come out the south entrance when you exit if you park on the west side of the parking lot (creating more congestion in Pelican Park by looping cars trying to get to the North entrance to turn south). This names but a few. Would love to hear opinions. |
