The Department of Transportation is responsible for maintaining the Right of Way from MM72 to MM91 (19 miles) through the Village. The Village was not satisfied with once a month maintenance by FDOT.  

For several decades the Village has contracted with FDOT to allow Village Public Works to do the maintenance. This year FDOT is going to pay the Village $75,644 to do the maintenance for the year. That’s $6,304/month; $332/mile/month to pick up litter, mow grass, and trim trees in 19 miles of Right of Way.

Certainly, according to our Public Works budget, the Village taxpayers pay more than ten times that $75K for roadway maintenance, a majority appears to be for U.S. One.   Why not let FDOT do that work and if once a month is inadequate some months, let the Village supplement the effort.  We could probably save several hundred thousand dollars!
