 Develop and evaluate engineering and environmentally feasible alternative solutions that meet the need determined in the Planning Phase  Evaluate potential impacts to the social, natural, and physical environments and determine ways to avoid or minimize impacts  Inform and involve the public in the development of the project alternatives  Process is mandated by the National Environmental Policy Act (NEPA) and state law. Represents a combined effort by technical professionals who analyze information and document the best alternative for a community’s transportation needs.

Broward County Project Limits End Project at Premier Parkway • Begins at NW 183 rd Street • Ends at Premier Parkway • Project Length 2.37 Miles Begin Project at • Miami-Dade and NW 183 Street Broward County

 Provide additional roadway capacity to accommodate projected traffic growth.  Provide a continuous north-south 4-lane lane divided roadway between Miami-Dade and Broward Counties.  Enhance Safety for Pedestrians, Bicyclists, and Transit users.  Maintain consistency with regional transportation plans.

SR 847 Average Annual Daily Traffic (AADT) and Level of Service (LOS) 40,000 39,500 Vehicles Per Day 35,000 30,000 LOS 25,000 C 22,000 20,000 LOS 15,000 F 10,000 5,000 0 2 Lane Road 4 Lane Road Year 2012 Year 2040

 Future Traffic Conditions in Year 2035 ◦ No Build 2 Lane Alternative  Without Improvements LOS F  Does Not Meet LOS D Standard ◦ Build 4 Lane Alternative  Achieves LOS C  Above LOS D Standard  Project Need: 4-Lane Divided Roadway ◦ 2 Northbound Lanes and 2 Southbound Lanes

 No Turn Lanes  Cracked Pavement  No Bike Lanes  Lacks Paved Shoulders  Missing Pedestrian  Old Drainage System Ramps

 2 Mast Arm ◦ NW 183 rd Street ◦ NW 199 th Street  2 Span Wire ◦ NW 191 ST Street ◦ NW 195 th Street  Needed Improvements ◦ Pedestrian Features ◦ ADA Compliance ◦ Turn Lanes

 Missing Sidewalks at School Crossings  Streets Lack Turn Lanes for Bus Access  Nearby Schools ◦ Skyway Elementary School ◦ North Gardens High School ◦ Miami Gardens Elementary School ◦ Sandor Wiener School of Opportunity

 No Bicycle Lanes  Sidewalk and Paved Shoulder Present on Only One Side in Areas  Sidewalks in Poor Condition  Missing Pedestrian Signals  Pedestrian Ramps Not Fully Compliant with Americans with Disabilities (ADA)

Active Bus Ridership Typical Transit Shelter Shelter without ADA-compliant sidewalk Transit Shelter with ADA sidewalk

 No Build or No Action alternative maintains the existing condition and is used as a baseline to compare the build alternatives.  Transportation Systems Management (TSM) alternative utilizes non capacity type improvements to improve traffic flow.  Build alternatives are major improvements that meet the project need through the design year.

 Construct a 4 Lane Divided Roadway to be compatible with the north and south termini.  Improve Safety for Pedestrians, Bicyclists, and Transit users.  New sidewalk, bicycle lanes, street lighting, drainage system, traffic signals, and crosswalks.  Landscape design is concurrent with roadway design but under a separate construction project.

 Design Speed 45 MPH  4 Ft Bike Lanes  12 Ft Travel Lanes  No U-Turns  22 Ft Median  Design Variation

 Design Speed 40 MPH  4 Ft Bike Lanes  11 Ft Travel Lanes  Allows U-Turns  26 Ft Median

 40 MPH Design Speed  11 Ft Lanes  4 Ft Bike Lanes  2 Medians Types ◦ 26 ft Wide ◦ 14 Ft Wide  U-Turns provided at some locations  Lower Access Control

 40 MPH Design Speed  No U-Turns Provided  11 Ft Lanes  No Left Turns Out from Property onto SR 847  4 Ft Bike Lanes  15.5 FT Median

Departure Route Arrival Route Homes Affected Due to Loss of U-Turns and Left Turn Out

Departure Route Arrival Route Homes Affected Due to Loss of U-Turns and Left Turn Out

 Bridge is No Long Needed  Culvert Was Placed Under The Bridge  Canal Was Backfilled

Existing Bridge  2 Traffic Lanes  Sidewalks and Bridge Rail Need Improvement

 Utilizes the existing pile/cap substructure  Lower cost that replacement bridge  6.75 ft Sidewalks  5.33 ft Shoulders / Bike Lanes

 2 High Risk Sites  6 Medium Risk Sites  22 Low Risk Sites  North Dade Trash and Recycling Center  0.04 acres of stormwater swales  1.31 acres of construction activities within other surface waters.  Impacts Will Be Minimized  Analysis and Agency Coordination Underway

 Increase for No Build and Build Alternatives 4 db(A) to 6 db(A)  Noise Barrier Analysis is Underway  Analysis and Agency Coordination Underway
