The City and the Park District explained that the planning for this project has taken place over the last 10 years. A handout showing the short term and long term access points to the future business park, highlighted in blue was discussed. Mr. Marcinkowski pointed out Alignments A &B as shown on the drawing used by HLC at the interview were not viable options as they encroached into runway protected zones. It was agreed, the short term needs for access to the Decatur Airport was for the improvement of Twin Bridge Road from Ocean Trail Road to Route 36. 2. The purpose of this study will be to perform a full Phase 1 Study to determine the roadway horizontal and vertical geometry for connecting Route 36 and Twin Bridge Road. The study will need to include a full IDS for this intersection. The new roadway shall be designed to accommodate 80,000 pound vehicles and turning radii shall permit WB-65 vehicle usage. 3. The study will also need to include a Project Development Report (BLR 5750) to account for federal funds being used for future construction. A public hearing/meeting may be a part of the project. HLC shall conduct a property record search for owners along the alignment to determine any potential environmental concerns associated with past use. 4. Coordination with the CSX Railroad will be a part of the project. The crossing of the RR at Ocean Trail Road was discussed. The possibility of closing this access to Route 36 will be studied as a part of this project with a cul-de-sac placed on the north side of the railroad. 5. The Route 361ane tapers begin immediately west of this project. These tapers may need to be moved to the east side of the Route 36 and Twin Bridge Road intersection. This will be part of the IDS analysis. �a�� e�F �
