|
| | | | | | | | | | A) | Board Action and Other History | | | | On February 19, 2019, under Administrative Agenda Item 20, the Board awarded a contract to Johnson Engineering, Inc. to update and set the final alignment and prepare the roadway plans and permits for Corkscrew Road from Ben Hill Griffin Parkway to Alico Road.
On January 18, 2022, in accordance with Administrative Agenda Item 3, the Board approved and adopted the Corkscrew Road Phase II Widening Analysis that evaluated the improvements to the project.

| | | | | | | | | | C) | BoCC Goals | | | | Transportation |
|
| | | | | | | | | | D) | Analysis | | | | The Corkscrew Road Phase II widening project extends from Bella Terra Boulevard to Alico Road.
Lee County previously acquired right-of-way from the Corkscrew Shores subdivision for the expansion of the roadway improvements. Certain portions of the right-of-way were encumbered by utility easements with FPL facilities.
This subordination from FPL grants Lee County the right to construct within the portions of the newly acquired right-of-way that are encumbered by existing FPL easement interests and provides for reimbursement of their utility relocation costs.
Estimated recording fees: $125. |
