PROJECT
OBJECTIVES
The objective of this study is to develop sufficient documentation
for the Department to obtain Location & Design Concept
Acceptance (LDCA) for improvements to Krome Avenue between
SW 296th Street and SW 136th Street.
The study will look at improving safety and mobility along this highly
traveled corridor, while being sensitive to the needs and concerns of
the surrounding communities and preserving the agricultural
and rural character
of the area. This study will consider various improvement alternatives,
strive to balance the safety and mobility needs with the communities'
needs and values and develop a consensus on the recommended
improvements.
The PD&E study is an integrated effort involving engineering
analysis and environmental evaluation, all accomplished within
the context of a pro-active
and continuous public participation program. The class-of-action for
this study will be an Environmental Impact Statement (EIS).
The EIS process
requires a comprehensive alternatives analysis, coupled with extensive
inter-agency coordination and public involvement. |
