Long Range Transportation Plan

  • Long-term vision for the transportation system
  • Multimodal transportation improvements
  • 25 Year Horizon (2040)
  • Updated every 5 years
  • Fiscally constrained
  • Addresses regional planning requirement
  • Federal requirement
  • Adopted by MPO’s Governing Board

LRTP Development Process

Establish Policy, Goals and Objectives Develop Land Use Vision and Forecast Socio-Economic Data Identify Transportation Needs Assess Transportation Alternatives Perform Financial Analysis Develop Cost Feasible Plan MPO Adopt the Plan

Needs Plan

  • Maintain satisfactory level of service
  • Acceptable mobility conditions
  • Assumes existing + committed (E+C) improvements
  • Fiscally unconstrained
  • Guides Cost Feasible Plan (fiscally constrained)

The Need for a Needs Plan

– Increase of population by over 64,000 – 2040 population forecast is 6,700 less than the 2035 LRTP. – 2040 projections show that population growth outpaces employment growth.

2040 E+C Roadway Network

  • Existing roadway network and improvements

programmed for construction in the next five years.

  • “Committed” Roadway Improvements:

– I-95: 4L to 6L within Indian River County. – US 1: 4L to 6L between St. Lucie County Line and Oslo Road. – 66 Avenue: 2L to 4L between SR 60 and 49 Street. – 37 Street: 2L to 4L between US 1 and Indian River Boulevard.

2040 E+C Roadway Network

  • Potentially Deficient Corridors:

– US 1 – SR A1A – CR 512 – CR 510 – 66th Avenue – 58th Avenue – 43rd Avenue – 27th Avenue – Roseland Road – Barber Street – Schuman Drive – Wabasso Causeway – Indian River Blvd – Aviation Blvd – SR 60 at I-95 – 8 Street at US 1

2040 Roadway Deficiencies

slide-8
SLIDE 8

“Initial” Needs Plan

  • Preliminary projects to address deficiencies
  • Developed using two strategies:

– Increase capacity of deficient corridors – Increase capacity of parallel corridors and/or improve connectivity of grid road network

  • Consistency with the 2035 Cost Feasible Plan
  • Some deficiencies remain (Constraints)
  • Current Snapshot - Initial Needs Plan will be refined
slide-9
SLIDE 9

2040 Initial Needs Plan

  • Improve deficient

corridors: 10 projects

  • Improve grid

connectivity/parallel corridors: 5 projects

Next Steps – Needs Plan

  • Refine Needs Plan – April
  • Alternatives Analysis – April and May
  • Intersection improvements
  • Technology based solutions such as Transportation System

Management and Operation (TSM&O)

  • Transit
  • Bicycle and pedestrian facilities
  • Public Workshops – Mid May
slide-14
SLIDE 14

Next Steps – Cost Feasible Plan

  • Cost Feasible Plan Development – May thru September

– Fiscal Constraints (Fewer Projects than Needs Plan)

  • 2035 Long Range Plan Funding

– Highway Needs Plan - $975 million – Final Highway Cost Feasible Plan - $545 million

  • $141 million in SIS funds
  • $96 million in other State funds
  • $85 million local option sales tax of $308 million total county funds
  • Final Needs Plan and “Initial” Cost Feasible Plan
