FDOT consults with FWC re nest observation platform and sidewalk

[NewMexiKen]

On February 10, the Florida Department of Transportation (FDOT) contacted the Florida Fish and Wildlife Conservation Commission (FWC) in order to initiate consultation concerning its plans to mill and resurface the stretch of Pines Boulevard from US-27 eastward to 196th Avenue. The plan includes a sidewalk that also would pass in front of the Bald Eagle nest site.

FDOT plans to follow the FWC Bald Eagle Monitoring Guidelines and offers several assurances to protect the nest and roosting sites. Construction near the nest will not occur during the eagles' breeding season (October 1 - May 15), and heavy equipment would not be staged on the block in front of the nest.

Significantly, FDOT seeks guidance from FWC as to the feasibility of the request by the Pembroke Pines Bald Eagle Steering Committee to provide for an eagle nest viewing platform, roadside parking on the south side of Pines Boulevard, and "Traffic Control Devices, such as roadside barriers to protect pedestrians."
 
The full letter with diagrams and maps of the proposed project may be accessed at this link (PDF).

Thank you for sending this.  I was just talking to Progress Energy today about a similar site in Pasco.
