“We are pushing ahead with a great road
program, a road program that will take this
Nation out of its antiquated shackles of
secondary roads… It will be a nation of great
prosperity, but will be more than that: it will be
a nation that is going ahead every day. With…
our population increasing at five every minute,
the expanding horizon is one that staggers
the imagination.”

“It is the policy of the Department to consider Transportation
Design for Livable Communities features on the State Highway
System …”
Principles:
1.Safety of all modes
2.Balancing community values and mobility needs
3.Efficient use of energy resources
4.Protection of the environment
5.Coordinated land use and transportation planning

• 4-lane major arterial, recently widened to 6 lanes
• Future travel demand far exceeds future capacity
• Limited alternative parallel network
• Roadway being used for BOTH local and regional trips
• Designated a multi-modal corridor in TRANSPORTATION 2035
• Multi-modal solutions viable only with land use strategies

SR 50
the challenge
1974
The Turnpike - now completed - provides a new and faster connection to N & S Florida
Small subdivisions become a more common as a development type
Commercial Development starts along SR 50 near US 27
Residential development continues S & E of downtown
1999
Citrus Tower Blvd becomes a major connection to SR-50
Rapid residential development occurs
2010
Few sections of local network added
Most of undeveloped land is located along the south side of SR 50 and
East of US 27
Development of large commercial parcels becomes common
Some development on previously approved master planned communities
continues
