DESCRIPTION

The Florida Legislature passed CS/CS/HB389 in the 2024 session related to honorary designations of various transportation facilities around the state, which included Sections 1(14) and (15) that officially designates a portion of S.R. 570/Polk Parkway between mile marker 3.5 and mile marker 2.5 in Polk County as the "Randy Roberts Memorial Highway" and  designates a portion of S.R. 35/George Jenkins Boulevard between Kathleen Road and N. Sloan Avenue in Polk County as the "Carol Jenkins Barnett Memorial Highway” and directed the Florida Department of Transportation (FOOT) to erect suitable markers.

 

Section 334.071(3) of the Florida Statutes and the Florida Department of Transportation's Traffic Engineering Manual require passage of a resolution of support from affected city or county commissions before erecting markers for honorary designations of transportation facilities.

Adopt the proposed resolution supporting the designation of portions of transportation facilities as the Randy Roberts Memorial Highway and portions of transportation facilities as the Carol Jenkins Barnett Memorial Highway.
