The County is preparing to construct paved shoulders along two miles of Olinda Road from Green Leaf Lane to Sammy Lane. The project is funded through the Federal Highway Safety Improvement Program (HSIP). The project will require right-of-way acquisition from 14 property owners. Local agencies may offer a bonus to property owners who sign in a timely manner. The incentives must be offered equally to all property owners and are reimbursable by FHWA. Agreements have been reached with twelve owners within the requisite sixty days of accepting the first written offer. Negotiations continue with the two remaining corporate owners. |

The Board may decline to acquire the right-of-way. The acquisitions are necessary to construct the project. |
