Title
Historic Preservation Board Meeting of January 19, 2017.
Body
DEFERRALS: None
DISCUSSION ITEM: Coral Gables Bike Trail as it connects to Red Road along Coral Way. Ms. Keller relayed the research and background of the project, detailing the inclusive area of the proposal to create a bicycle boulevard on Castile Avenue as part of the City’s bicycle master plan. The purpose, she said, was to connect with existing bicycle lanes on Red Road and connect them to Coral Way, including speed cushions and related signage along Castile Avenue. Ms. Keller sought feedback from the Board as part of the City’s overall project process.
A motion was made and seconded to support installation of speed cushions and required but appropriate signage as discussed to the Castile Avenue bicycle boulevard design as the project moves forward, and to apply the same historic sensitivity to similar future City projects. (Ayes: 7, Nays: 1)
