RE: City of Aventura
Lehman Causeway Traffic Safety Barriers
Keith & St'briars Pro_iect No. 15414
Dear Bob:
At the direction of the City Commission, our office has investigated the use of guardrails with the
Florida Department of Transportation along the Lehman Causeway. The semi-rigid steel back wood
rail was developed for an aesthetic alternative to the conventional guardrail systems. Enclosed is a
copy of the AASHTO Roadside Design Guide for the steel back wood rail for your review and a copy
of thc detail for the steel back guardrail.
We presented this alternative to the Florida Department of Transportation (FDOT) in Tallahassee and
based on our discussions with Mr. John Grant of the FDOT, it does not appear that the FDOT would
accept this alternative at this location. The FDOT has recommended that we utilize steel guardrail
or a concrete barrier at this location. Once again, the FDOT has not committed to approval of such
guardrall in this area, but has indicated that these alternatives would be appropriate at this location.
A final decision will not be made until an application is submitted for the project.
I trust this letter will serve to update you as to the status of this particular work item and we are
awaiting direction from the City of Aventura before proceeding with the preliminary design phase of
this project.
Sincerely yours,
KEITH and SCHNARS, P.A.
