AGENDA ITEM WORDING: A Resolution approving the priority list for Federal Transportation
Enhancement Funds applications for Monroe County projects as recommended by the Florida Department of
Transportation-Technical Advisory Committee for the Florida Keys (DOT-TACK).
ITEM BACKGROUND: In August of 2002 the Florida Department of Transportation-Technical Advisory
Committee for the Florida Keys (DOT-TACK) was organized by FDOT. The TACK was formed to provide
guidance and recommendations to FDOT through coordination of issues and projects.
The DOT.T ACK is composed of two representatives from all jurisdictions within the County, as well as non-voting
members from other agencies such as: the Monroe County School Board, the Department of Environmental
Protection (DEP), the Scenic Highway Advisory Group, and the Community Traffic Safety Teams from the Upper,
Middle, and Lower Keys. The Engineering Department and the Plmming Department represents Monroe County on
the DOT - TACK.
One of the functions of the DOT-TACK is to review, rank, and prioritize projects eligible for Fedcral Transportation
Enhancement Funds. For the 2006 application cycle, the DOT-TACK reviewed numerous eligible projects and
ranked the Florida Keys Overseas Heritage Trail (FKOHT) -Tavernier Safety Improvement (MM 92 to 96) as
the first priority for funding. The main features of this project are to create a bike path that will connect to another
bike path project at Mile Marker 96, to provide a smoother and wider trail, as well as to bring the trail to meet the
standards of the Americans with Disabilities Act (ADA).
