18Q-160-CA-12 includes designing a preemptive traffic signal at the northernmost West Port High School access on SW 80th Avenue, preparing a complete signalization plan set integrated into the roadway plans, performing a Florida Department of Transportation (FDOT) compliant structural analysis for the strain poles and their foundations, providing calculations at the 100% submittal, and responding to one (1) round of County review comments.
