MEMORANDUM
To: Frank Trando, Interim City Manager
From: Kenneth M. Griffin, P.E., City Engineer
RE: Proposed Toll Road status for S.H. 121
Date: December 9, 1993
I have reviewed the packet of information provided to me concerning the study of S.H. 121 as a
potential toll road. I have also discussed this with Robert Pope. Robert W. Pope and Associates
coordinates the monthly S. H. 121 meetings. Based on my conversation with Mr. Pope and on
reviewing the information, at this point it is premature for the City to take a position one way or the
other on toll roads as no criteria has even been established by the Regional Transportation Council
through the Council of Governments for classification of roads as toll roads. Mr. Pope did state
that in preliminary conversations one of the major issues will be that a toll road should be a new
location, not a location already designated or quite possibly where right-of-way has been previously
dedicated by property owners. My recommendation again is to take a wait and see approach and
scrutinize the criteria once it is presented by the Regional Transportation Council.
I will be happy to discuss this with you at your convenience.
