Project Development & Environment Study

Public and Agency Involvement

 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.

Project Limits

• Begins at NW

183rd Street

• Ends at Premier

Parkway

• Project Length

2.37 Miles

• Miami-Dade and

Broward County

Begin Project at NW 183 Street End Project at Premier Parkway

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.

 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

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

Ramps

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

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

 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  11 Ft Lanes  4 Ft Bike Lanes  15.5 FT Median  No U-Turns Provided  No Left Turns Out from

Property onto SR 847

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
