The City of Satellite Beach’s existing transportation facilities include two major Florida Department of Transportation (FDOT) maintained highways—S.R. A1A and S.R. 513, also known as South Patrick Drive. Both of these roads traverse the adjacent jurisdictions of Indian Harbour Beach to the south and Brevard County to the north. All other roads are considered “local” and are maintained by the City. With regard to transportation concurrency methodologies and measuring impacts on transportation facilities within the City of Satellite Beach, it has been the City’s policy to defer and coordinate any and all development review that may impact these arterial roads to their corresponding jurisdiction, as they would have the prevailing and final say in the approval process. To duplicate the review process would be arduous, redundant, and pointless for the development applicant. For projects that fall within the City’s jurisdiction, the City Code of Satellite Beach, Section 30-303(3)f and (4), (see below) provides the methodology the City utilizes to maintain concurrency on its roads. Bicycle and Pedestrian Ways Non-motorized transportation facilities serve bicyclists and pedestrians. The State Transportation Plan requires that bicycle and pedestrian ways be given full consideration in the planning and development of transportation facilities. Regional and local transportation plans and programs should include bicycle and pedestrian facilities. The state also requires that bicycle and pedestrian ways be established in conjunction with construction, reconstruction or changes in any state facilities within five miles of an urban area. Exceptions to this plan may be made if consideration of a nonmotorized way is contrary to public safety, cost is disproportionate to need or probable use or absence of need or use has been determined. The interface of pedestrians with vehicles requires careful design to ensure the safety and movement of the pedestrian, as well as the safety and movement of vehicles. The Satellite Beach City Code has required sidewalks for all new development since 1978. Sidewalks should be evaluated for need and prioritized; and means of implementation developed to correct public safety problems where necessary. The lack of adequate non-motorized transportation facilities is a concern that was clearly expressed in the last Comprehensive Plan. Few special provisions have been made for bicyclists and pedestrian facilities in Satellite Beach. The State Transportation Plan requires that bicycle and pedestrian ways be given full consideration in the planning and development of transportation facilities. Regional and local transportation plans should also include bicycle and pedestrian facilities. In addition, the State requires that bicycle and pedestrian ways be established in conjunction with construction and reconstruction, or changes in any state facilities within five miles of an urban area. Sidewalks and walkability have long been synonymous with the small town, low-density residential feel that the residents of Satellite Beach embrace. In order to create walkability and pedestrian linkages, opportunities to provide sidewalks where none currently exist must be planned for. This may necessitate developing and enforcing regulations that mandate their provision at time of development by the private sector, as well as acquisition of suitable properties in missing linkage locations by the public sector.

The interface of pedestrians with vehicles requires careful design to ensure the safety and movement of the pedestrian as well as the safety and movement of vehicles. In an effort to provide continuous linkages throughout Satellite Beach the City must also continue to focus on missing sidewalk links to maximize the connectivity of exiting walkways. The City established an ad hoc committee of residents in 1999 to devise a plan for bicycle and pedestrian ways throughout the City. The recommendation of that committee was accepted by Council, and won an award from the Brevard County Metropolitan Planning Organization. Subsequently, the City submitted a major portion of the recommendation to the TPO for funding, and commenced completing the other portions as opportunity and finances allowed. The TPO approved the project and, in 2008, provided funds that allowed the City to complete implementation of the plan. Brevard County completed, through the City, a bicycle/pedestrian path along the east side of A1A as part of the County’s Coastal Corridor Multi-Use Trail stretching from Sebastian Inlet to Port Canaveral. The City’s redevelopment agency subsequently included in its A1A corridor improvement plan a companion bicycle/pedestrian path along the west side of A1A. This project has been submitted to the TPO for funding and is in the approval process for construction in the 2013 time frame. Transportation Element Data and Analysis 2-8
