PROJECT UPDATE

Recently, the Florida Department of Transportation (FDOT) has determined that a Project Development and Environment (PD&E) study is not required for State Road (SR) 24 from Archer Road between the intersections with SW 16th Avenue (SR 226) and SW 13th Street (SR 25/US 441) to SW 16th Avenue (SR 226) between its intersections with Archer Road and SW 13th Street and then along SW 13th Street to the intersection with Archer Road. This is due to the state road designation remaining on Archer Road. Improvements to the Archer Road corridor and SW 16th Avenue can still be made which include Archer Road becoming a campus road and bike lanes added in each direction. The existing on-street parking on SW 16th Avenue will be removed to allow room for bike lanes. The recent presentation to the Metropolitan Transportation Planning Organization (MTPO) outlines the details and can be viewed here. A Public Information Meeting will be held in the summer of 2009 to present improvements to the project area.
