2018 Transportation Project Priorities Investing your dollars in Transportation
Presenter
Presentation Notes
Over the past few months, we have also been working with our Local Governments, Growth Management Subcommittee and FDOT in the development of the new Tentative Work Program and this is done through our annual project priorities. We are on an expedited schedule due to the Legislature meeting earlier in 2018. You also have a set of 11x17 spreadsheets that list all of our project priorities to include Space and Port Canaveral projects. I’m not going to talk about all of them, but I don’t want to give you a status on some of the bigger projects and let you know about any new projects that have come to us.
Where do Projects Come From?
• State of the System analysis / Traffic Counts
• Citizen Input / Public Involvement
• Local Governments / Transportation Agencies
Presenter
Presentation Notes
For the newer members, just a couple slides on the process. Where do our project priorities come from? We have to know where the problems are….The State of the System analysis is a key component in how we arrive at decisions for future transportation investments. Our Traffic Count Report is part of an extensive Performance Monitoring and Management Program. TPO monitors its roadways on an annual basis and it’s documented in our annual State of the System Report and annual Safety Report. Corridors need to be monitored for all users and modes, not just for capacity needs. Citizen input can ultimately be responsible for a project getting added to a priority list with the support of their respective municipality. We request projects from our local governments and Transportation Agencies in February of each year for state and federal funding. Our Growth Management Subcommittee reviews the new projects and makes recommendations on ranking.
Strategic Intermodal System SIS: Florida’s high priority transportation facilities
Transportation hubs – ports and terminals moving people and goods
Interregional corridors – highways, rail lines, waterways, fixed transit, connecting major destinations
Intermodal connectors – highways, rail lines, waterways, linking hubs and corridors
SIS
Presenter
Presentation Notes
This is the statewide system of high priority transportation facilities. The funding is managed out of central office. The Department’s investment policy, provides a much larger allocation of highway capacity funds to projects on the SIS. This is includes our SIS hubs: Port Canaveral, Orlando-MIA, the spaceport and railroad corridors. This also includes SIS connectors such as Columbia Blvd to KSC Entrance; SR 401 to CCAF station entrance, US 192 from I-95 to Airport Blvd to NASA Blvd to entrance and exit at Air Terminal Parkway. All of these corridors would qualify for SIS Funds.
I-95 SJHP South Interchange (Under Construction)
Construction underway $26.7 M

SIS
Presenter
Presentation Notes
I’ll give a quick review of our SIS Highway projects: this is a design-build project of a new diverging diamond interchange at Interstate 95 (I-95) and St. Johns Heritage Parkway, north of Micco Road in Palm Bay. Work began in February of this year and completion is scheduled for the summer of 2018. The City of Palm Bay will construct the road to connect the new interchange to Babcock near Davis Lane. (1.67 mile stretch of road) bike lanes / sidewalk and 12 ft. multi-use path. --------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
I-95 / Viera Boulevard Interchange (Fully Funded)
Design complete $2.1M Construction $7.3M (letting June 2017)
SIS
Presenter
Presentation Notes
This project involves a new Diverging Diamond Interchange with I-95 at the existing Viera Boulevard overpass. This should improve mobility in Viera by relieving traffic congestion at the I-95 interchanges with Fiske to the north and Wickham to the south. Construction should begin in the fall of this year and will take 14-16 months. 7 ft. buffered bicycle lanes and 8ft sidewalks will be provided throughout the project. The Viera Company will also be widening Viera Blvd from 2 to 4 lanes from west of Tavistock Drive to west of Porada Drive (approximately one-half mile) and from east of Heron’s Landing Drive to east of Holiday Springs Road (approx 1 mile).
I-95 / SJHP North Interchange
(Fully Funded)
Right of Way underway Construction $44 M (letting June 13, 2018)
SIS
Presenter
Presentation Notes
The new interchange at I-95 and Ellis Road is also fully funded. It will align with the future St. Johns Heritage Parkway on the west and Ellis Road on the East. Right of way acquisition is underway by FDOT; Construction letting date is June 2018 so fall of 2018 will likely be when construction begins. The purpose of the project is to provide a direct, multi-lane connection from I-95 to Orlando-Melbourne International Airport . The new facility and interstate connectivity will provide improved mobility of people and goods to and from the airport. The project will also assist in reducing the near term and future traffic demands on New Haven Avenue (US 192) and Eau Gallie Boulevard (SR 518). --------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Ellis Road Widening John Rhodes Blvd to Wickham Road Design underway $2.4 M Right of Way funded $35 M FY 2020–2023 Construction unfunded
SIS - 1
Presenter
Presentation Notes
In addition to the new interchange at I-95, Ellis Road will be widened to Wickham Road. The county just recently completed their drainage analysis and is working with DOT to see if those right of way impacts can be reduced, specifically by piping the ditch. Things sound promising. Currently ROW is funded for $35 M between the years 2020 and 2023. Construction is unfunded at this time. This project is also No. 1 on the Regional Priority List that we have with the Central Florida MPO Alliance (includes 6 MPOs)
SR 528 (Beachline) Six-Laning
Design Underway Right of Way and Construction (unfunded)
SIS - 3
Presenter
Presentation Notes
The Turnpike is doing a PD&E reevaluation on their portion of the Beachline from SR 520 to Industry Road. On the DOT owned portion from Industry Rd to the Port Canaveral Interchange – design is currently underway and approaching 30% plans. A traffic study is also underway to analyze if managed lanes are warranted. A multi-use trail is also being designed as part of the widening; The City of Cocoa would like the limits of the trail to be extended to Industry Road to the Port (northside of road). We’ve asked DOT to come to our September meeting and give an update on the design, potential trail access points and the traffic study concerning the managed lanes.

Presentation Notes
The No. 1 Priority on the Non-SIS list is now phase II of the county portion of the Parkway which runs from US 192 to the I-95 Interchange with Ellis Road. It is funded with a combination of CIGP and local matching fund for a total of $9.8 M. DOT and County will need to coordinate the timing of construction of this project and the interchange.
US 192 and Hollywood Blvd/Evans Intersection Improvements
Design Underway Right of Way $4.8M (FY 2020)
RS - 2
Presenter
Presentation Notes
No. 2 is intersection improvements US 192 and Hollywood Blvd. There is a lack of adequate lanes on Hollywood Blvd contributing to delays along mainline of US 192. DOT is currently in design and Right of Way acquisition is funded in FY 2020 for $4.8 M. We still need construction funding. The intent of this project is to add an exclusive eastbound right turn lane, a second westbound left turn lane, a second southbound right turn lane, and a second southbound through lane to the intersection.
US 192 and Wickham / Minton Intersection (Fully Funded)
Design Underway Construction $1.1 M FY 2018
Presenter
Presentation Notes
The next intersection project is fully funded at US192 and Wickham/Minton Road. The traffic volume on Wickham is also contributing to delays along the mainline of US 192. The plan would be to maximize the approaches to give more signal time on Wickham. Turn lane additions can be constructed within the available Right of Way. Construction will begin in the summer of FY 2018.
SR A1A Corridor Study Pineda to Port Canaveral
Feasibility Study Complete
RS - 3
Presenter
Presentation Notes
The SR A1A Corridor Study was completed a couple of years ago by FDOT. Study limits were from Pineda Causeway to the Port. Various projects came out of the study with involvement from the many stakeholders including The A1A Action Team. This is not a widening project but a list of projects to make the corridor safer for bicyclists and pedestrians and to have that sense of arrival for community. We were able to get sidewalk installed throughout the one-way pairs in Cocoa Beach in the resurfacing project east and westbound both sides. --------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
SR A1A / SR 520 Intersection Improvements
Design $667K (FY 2017)
