Approves the foregoing recitals, which are incorporated herein by reference. Section 2. It is the policy of this Board that the County arterial network extend without dead-ends, within traffic engineering standards, throughout the County and in furtherance of that policy, this Board directs the County Mayor or County Mayor�s designee to take all actions necessary to construct a bridge that would extend SW 87th Avenue from SW 164th Street to SW 163rd Terrace crossing over the Cutler Drain Canal C-100. The County Mayor or County Mayor�s designee shall, at a minimum, coordinate with the TPO Executive Director to prepare and place all necessary agenda items on the first available TPO Governing Board�s agenda to amend the Long Range Transportation Plan and the Transportation Improvement Program to include this bridge project, and at the appropriate time, to issue the necessary procurement documents in order to construct the bridge. Section 3. To the extent consistent with the requirements of Chapter 33E for expenditure of road impact fee funds, this Board appropriates $3,100,000.00 in unencumbered road impact fee funds, including but not limited to any carryover funds, from the fiscal year 2020-2021 County Budget for the design and construction of the bridge project identified in section 2 above.
