BOARD OF COUNTY COMMISSIONERS
AGENDA REQUEST
DATE: November 20, 2012
TO: Honorable Chairman and Members of the Board
FROM: John Hofstad
SUBJECT: Classification of the New SR 293 Alignment and White Point Road
DEPARTMENT: Public Works
BCC DISTRICT: 5
STATEMENT OF ISSUE: With the opening of Phase 1 of the Mid-Bay Bridge Connector
Road FDOT has proposed to classify the new alignment of SR 293 as an “Urban Minor Arterial”
and to reclassify White Point Road (now a County Road) as an “Urban Collector”. FDOT is
requesting that the Board of County Commissioners accept these classification proposals.
BACKGROUND: With the opening of the new alignment of SR 293 FDOT is proposing to
classify this section of roadway as an “Urban Minor Arterial”. This classification is appropriate
as the limited access roadway is an arterial connection between other arterial roadaways.
As part of the infrastructure agreement with the Mid-Bay Bridge Authority, FDOT and Okaloosa
County, White Point Road was recently returned to Okaloosa County for ownership and
maintenance. As such FDOT is proposing to reclassify White Point Road to an “Urban
Collector”. This reclassification is appropriate as this segment of roadway collects traffic from
adjacent local, subdivision streets and provides direct access to an arterial roadway (SR 20).
Once approved by the Board of County Commissioners, the executed forms are to be returned to
FDOT who will then forward the proposal to the chairman of the Okaloosa-Walton TPO for their
approval.
OPTIONS: Approve/disapprove the request from FDOT to classify SR 293 as an “Urban Minor
Arterial” and White Point Road as an “Urban Collector”.
RECOMMENDATIONS: Approve the request from FDOT to classify SR 293 as an “Urban
Minor Arterial” and White Point Road as an “Urban Collector”.
