Re: TERMINATION OF DESIGN LAP AGREEMENT (AR892)
Project: Antioch Road (CR 4) Sidewalks from Garrett Pit Road to Egan Drive
FPID: 433571-1-38-01; FAPN: 4861-017-P
Dear Mr. Peters:
Okaloosa County is requesting termination of the above subject Local Agency Program
Agreement for the following reasons:
With recent advancements in the design, right-of-way and construction funding of the PJ
Adams Parkway (CR 4) Bypass project, Okaloosa County has determined that the design
and construction of sidewalks along this segment of CR 4 (from Garrett Pit Road to Egan
Drive) would not be in the best interest of Okaloosa County citizens at this time. The
planned, future widening of PJ Adams Parkway from SR 85 to the I-10 overpass will
include pedestrian sidewalk features which will be better addressed as part of the overall
project design.
Additionally, the I-10 overpass along this corridor marks the northern zoning boundary
for Antioch Elementary. Given that residents north of I-10 are not zoned for this school,
there is no real need for pedestrian sidewalks to accommodate both sides of the overpass
or a crossing over I-10 at this time. The real need for this area has been identified as the
crosswalk area at CR 4 south of the I-10 overpass with future sidewalks along Whitehurst
Lane that directly service the school.
We appreciate the Department’s cooperation and willingness in working with Okaloosa
County through the Local Agency Program and look forward to future projects.
Sincerely,
