PROJECT: N/A
PURPOSE: The Parks and Recreation Division is working with the State of Florida Department of Transportation (FDOT) regarding the installation, operation, and maintenance of FDOT owned trail traffic counters along the Pine Hills and Orlando SE (i.e Moss Park Road) Trails.
FDOT has agreed to fund and perform the installation of two trail traffic counters through their non-motorized equipment loaner program along the Pine Hills Trail and Orlando SE Trail as detailed in the Memorandum of Agreement (MOA). FDOT will further operate and maintain the two trail traffic counters as per the terms of the MOA.
Per the MOA, the trail traffic counters are part of the state’s efforts to “develop a statewide Non-Motorized Traffic Monitoring Program with the purpose of collecting and maintaining a statistically valid bicycle and pedestrian volume data that would allow the Department to calculate the statistics for annual publication to serve all Department’s data customers and partner agencies.” The data “obtained from the Program may be used for various types of analyses such as planning, designing, and programming facilities, pavement, and trail maintenance…”.
The County Attorney's Office, Risk Management Division, Roads and Drainage Division, and Parks and Recreation Division have reviewed this Agreement and find it acceptable.
