Subject: "Harry Harris Park directional sign removal" US-l at MM 92.5
Section 90060, SR-5 CfP # 2001-08-0006
Dear Ms. Hancock:
Your memorandum of the above subject dated July 30, 200 I has been forwarded to me for handling.
It is essential that we as traffic engineers obey the rules and guidelines set by the Federal Highway
Administration as well as Florida Department of Transportation and base our decisions upon those
guidelines and above all the common sense. Back in 1998 this office received numerous complaints and
suggestions as to the identification of Harry Harris Park from US-I. That, unfamiliar motorists have a hard
time to locate the park, going up and down on US-l often getting lost. As a result we upgraded the existing
signs in which it has proven to be the most improved positive guidance benefiting our visitors. That said,
with all due respect to the resolution to remove the mentioned signs, I cannot approve the removal.
I appreciate the time you have taken in bringing this matter to our attention. If I can be of further assistance,
please call me at (305) 470-5335.
Sincerely,
~r--o
Ali Khalilahma(1i P.E.
