2 issues in roads with high priority
Bonded Transportation Program Progress
The $216 million capital portfolio is 74% spent; the CR 220 bridge opens in October, several BTP road projects are finishing, and fire stations and the recovery center are progressing. The Economic Development Building won an excellence-in-construction award.
JTA bus service termination and replacement
The board is weighing cutting roughly $600,000 from the county's ~$1.3 million JTA/transit contribution. Options include keeping the federally required Transportation Disadvantaged service (which needs ~$30,000/month in county supplement) and replacing fixed bus routes with cheaper on-demand microtransit. Staff will bring back ridership numbers and options.
