We have evaluated possible pond sites for the project, and this particular parcel is the most viable, from a drainage standpoint and a fiscal perspective.

The pedestrian fatalities were spread along Palm Beach Boulevard. They weren't concentrated in one area, which is why this project is important.

About a week and a half ago, we placed a stop sign at the edge of the pavement and in fact put a red light on the stop sign to draw attention to it. It's a tragic, tragic reminder that drivers really need to remember driving should never be routine. Wear your safety belt every time and expect unexpected.

As loans are repaid, the opportunity to continue the program is there.

This is really a safety project because we've seen a high volume of accidents involving pedestrians and bicyclists. It's clear to the department that adding the median will help improve safety.

Our estimate of $25 million for the project is one we are fairly comfortable with. We can't enter into an agreement for anything other than what we have programmed for construction in fiscal year 2011. So that's what we would enter into with the county.
