Its first vote in 1996 supported a new bridge. The second vote, in 1997, was for rehabilitating the present bridge. Between the two votes, the commission make-up had changed by elections. Daniels request is two months after the commission s makeup has changed again. Mayor Len Weeks said he had expected Daniels to ask for another vote.
Weeks supports the rehabilitation of the bridge.
Weeks said he will allow anyone else in the audience to speak on the subject after Daniels makes his presentation. I don t intend for this to be a public hearing, but if people are here on either side, I will let them speak, he said. Weeks said if a majority of the commission wants to consider another vote on the bridge, that vote will take place at a another meeting. A public hearing will be held at that time, he said. Daniels said he has read the Florida Department of Transportation s Draft Environmental Study.
