AGENDA ITEM WORDING: Approval to advertise a Public Hearing to be held at the August 18,
2021 meeting to consider restricting access to Loquat Drive at the intersection of Loquat Drive and
County Road (CR) 905 in Key Largo to eliminate the use of Loquat Drive by vehicular traffic as a
through route to access US 1 from (CR) 905 in accordance with Section 19-8 of the Monroe County
Code.
ITEM BACKGROUND: This agenda item seeks approval to hold a public hearing to be held at
the August 18, 2021 meeting. The public hearing will consider restricting access by vehicle traffic
to Loquat Drive in Key Largo at the intersection of CR 905 and Loquat Drive to eliminate the use of
the residential roads as a through route into Key Largo when traffic backs up on CR 905. Loquat
Drive will remain accessible via Atlantic Boulevard and will remain accessible for pedestrian use.
Residents have alerted staff to the fact that vehicles seeking to avoid traffic on CR 905 will travel
through this residential area at speeds up to 55 mph and the number of vehicles using the "cut
through" route makes it difficult and/or close to impossible for residents to pull in and out of their
driveways.
