County Commission
RESOLUTION NO. 096 -1989
WHEREAS, there have been chronic and long traffic delays on
U. S. 1 in the area of the Jewfish Creek Bridge on weekends, and
WHEREAS, the said delays have been generated by the frequen-
cy of boat traffic and the consequent raising of the Jewfish
Creek Bridge, and
WHEREAS, on several recent weekends the delay in traffic has
resulted in backups in excess of five miles and delays of two
hours in transiting traffic, and
WHEREAS, the County regards said delays as both dangerous
and not in the best interest of the County generally, now,
therefore,
BE IT RESOLVED BY THE BOARD OF COUNTY COMMISSIONERS OF
MONROE COUNTY, FLORIDA, that:
1. Monroe County does hereby request the Commandant of the
Seventh District of the United States Coast Guard to implement
hours for the operation of the bridge at Jewfish Creek and to
restrict its opening to an opening on the hour and the half-hour
in order that the flow of vehicular traffic not be impeded as it
has been in the past.
2. The Clerk is hereby instructed to send a certified copy
of this resolution to the Commandant of the Seventh District of
the United States Coast Guard.
PASSED AND ADOPTED by the Board of County Commissioners of
Monroe County, Florida, at a regular meeting of said Board held
on the 21st day of February, A.D. 1989.
