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

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
