Topics getting the most attention in Monroe County public meetings, ranked by how frequently they are discussed.
2 issues in roads with high priority
US-1 traffic study and LOS methodology
Staff went project-by-project through all 47 priorities for easing U.S. 1 congestion, from a Keyswide bike-ped master plan grant expected in June to a pedestrian bridge from Stock Island to Key West being re-examined by FDOT. Two transit projects were shelved and the countywide traffic-flow analysis is getting cost estimates before the county commits money.
Keys infrastructure capacity study request
Twenty-one organizations from across the community asked the county to commission an independent 20-year study of water, wastewater, power and US 1 traffic capacity. All commissioners supported scoping it, with several favoring a 10-year window tied to the known 900 remaining ROGO units.
