- 15 minute intermission
- Public testimony
- Close of hearing after final public
testimony
PD&E Study Objectives
Develop and analyze alternatives Evaluate engineering issues Evaluate environmental issues Build and no-build alternatives
Project Location
Purpose and Need
- Traffic Operations
- By 2035 the southbound ramps and the Davis Blvd / Collier Blvd
intersection would experience significant delays (LOS F)
- Provide improvements to meet future needs
- Interchange and Davis Blvd / Collier Blvd intersection
- Traffic Safety
- Improvements may reduce crash
potential at Davis Blvd / Collier Blvd
- Freight Traffic
- Last major interchange before Alligator
Alley
Purpose and Need: Planned Development
Davis Blvd Collier Blvd Magnolia Pond Dr Future Development

No-Build Alternative
Capacity Improvements Complete 2014
No-Build Alternative
- Advantages:
- No inconvenience to traffic flow due to construction
- No right-of-way acquisition, design, or construction costs
- No direct effects to adjacent natural and human environments
- Disadvantages:
- Increase in traffic congestion and road user costs
- Unacceptable traffic delays on the existing roadway network
- Increased crash potential
- Increase in air pollutants due to traffic congestion
- Not consistent with the Collier County Growth Management Plan, or
the Collier Metropolitan Planning Organization’s 2035 Long Range Transportation Plan
Environmental Evaluations
Environmental Evaluations
- Threatened and endangered species
- Wetlands and floodplains
- Stormwater management and permitting
- Noise
- Right-of-way requirements & relocations
- Contamination
- Cultural and historic resources
- Section 4(f)
- Land use
- Air quality
- Construction effects
- Aesthetics
Threatened and Endangered Species
- Endangered Species Act of 1973 and Florida Statutes
- Reviewed by the U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service (USFWS) and
Florida Fish and Wildlife Conservation Commission (FFWCC)
- May affect, not likely to adversely affect
– Wood Stork – Eastern Indigo Snake – Florida Scrub-jay – Red-cockaded Woodpecker
Wetlands
- Executive Order 11990 / Wetlands
- Wetland impacts – 4.48 acres
- Mitigation
Floodplains
- Executive Order 11988 / Floodplains
- Preferred alternative will not require any floodplain
compensation
Noise
- Noise study conducted
- Noise effects
– Two residences in Palm Springs neighborhood – Four units in Tuscan Isle apartment complex
- Noise abatement
– Potential noise barrier along I-75 southbound exit ramp
Right-of-Way Requirements
- 1.88 acres of right-of-way required
- 10 parcels impacted
- There are NO relocations anticipated with the recommended
improvements
Contamination
- Contamination screening conducted
- Sites identified in study area
– 2 “High” risk sites – 3 “Medium” risk sites
- The Preferred Alternative has no anticipated direct impacts to
contamination sites
Cultural and Historic Resources
- National Historic Preservation Act of 1966,
as amended and Florida Statutes
- No impacts
- State Historic Preservation Officer (SHPO)
and FHWA concurrence
- Section 4(f)
