PROJECT LOCATION



Located in northern Miami-Dade County



Adjacent to City of Miami Gardens, North Miami Beach, North Miami and the Golden Glades Community

BACKGROUND

Golden Glades Interchange is a SIS intermodal hub that connects to other SIS facilities, such as

 I-95  SR 826 (Palmetto Expressway)  Florida’s Turnpike  Park and Ride

STRATEGIC INTERMODAL SYSTEM (SIS)

A statewide network of high-priority transportation facilities such as: airports, seaports, rail corridors and highways

WHAT IS A PROJECT DEVELOPMENT AND ENVIRONMENT (PD&E)?



A process followed by FDOT to evaluate:

• Engineering alternatives
• Environmental impacts
• Social, cultural and economic

impacts associated with a planned transportation project



Mandated by the National Environmental Policy Act (NEPA) of 1969



Required when federal funds are involved



Golden Glades Interchange currently carries is over 400,000 vehicles per day with direct impacts on regional travel within the tri-county area



Travel demand within the interchange is projected to increase by approximately 50% by the 2040 year



Critical movements experiencing heavy congestion with insufficient capacity include:

1. SR 826 EB to I-95 NB 2. Turnpike SB to I-95 SB
