Wickham Rd. Intersection Needs

7

• Total entering volume of 55,700 – 4th highest in County
• Wickham Road volume of 26,500 contributing to delays

along mainline US 192

• EB and SB approaches do not have exclusive right turn

lanes

• NB and SB approaches do not have dual left turn lanes

Existing Lane Configuration

Wickham Rd. Intersection Constraints

8

• No ROW available on the north

leg for improvements

• Utility poles located along west

side of Wickham Rd.

• In order to add lanes on the

north leg:

• Impacts include the utilities/ROW
• n west side or
• Impacts to Walgreens parking on

east side

No ROW Walgreens Parking Utility and ROW

Concept 1 Concept 2 Concepts 3, 4, and 5

Wickham Rd. Preferred Alternative

10

• 3 concepts dropped due to low benefit/cost ratio
• High cost from ROW impacts on north leg
• Concept 1 and Concept 2 comparable operational

benefits

• Concept 2 preferred alternative
• Can construct both turn lane additions within the ROW

Hollywood Blvd. Intersection Needs

13

• Total entering volume of

49,000 – 14th highest in County

• Lack of adequate lanes
• n Hollywood Blvd.

contributing to delays along mainline US 192

• The SB approach right

turn volume is over 600 in the PM peak hour

Existing Lane Configuration

Hollywood Blvd. Intersection Constraints

14

• No ROW available on the

south leg for improvements

• In order to add lanes and

sidewalk on the south leg:

• Impacts to SW corner parcels,

and TGI Friday’s on west side

• r
• Impacts to Barnes & Noble on

east side

No ROW Barnes & Noble Parking Formerly Coeye Farm Store

Concept 1 Concepts 2, 3 and 4

Hollywood Blvd. Preferred Alternative

16

• South leg of intersection planned to be widened from 2

to 4 lanes, including sidewalk on both sides

• Concepts 1 and 2 do not coincide with plan
• Concepts 3 and 4 are consistent with 4 laning plans
• Concept 3 impacts the Barnes & Noble parking with unknown

drainage impact/cost

• Concept 4 is preferred alternative due to unknown

drainage impacts for Concept 3

• Full parcel acquisitions of the two properties on SW corner needed
