A Master Plan identified a Locally Preferred Alternative (LPA) for the corridor
…
This LPA was adopted by Broward County and approved by FHWA
The “corridor” LPA is advancing through two separate projects:

Project NeedProject Need
• Broward County has been one of the fastest growing urban areas in the US
• Only east-west expressway in Broward County• Strategic Intermodal Corridor• Existing AADT >180,000 vpd• 2034 AADT >300,000 vpd
• District 4 SIS – Growth Management Priority
• Truly Multi-Modal Corridor I-75 & Sawgrass Expressway I-95 & Florida’s Turnpike Fort Lauderdale-Hollywood International Airport Port Everglades Connection to Tri-Rail and Amtrak Proposed Transit Facility Broward County Greenway

PD&E Study Functions PD&E Study Functions & Goals& Goals
• Maintain Consistency with the LPA • Minimize overall project impacts • Develop a project that can be implemented
• Build Consensus • Maintain project schedule
•Advance corridor improvements•Phases of project funded
• Priority project• High profile complex project
– Public Understanding– Design Decisions
• Early validation of project alternatives• Public expectations

The ResultsThe Results
• Improved deliverable from the PD&E process
• Better Integration of Transit Improvements
• Helped identify the best use of existing right of way for both roadway and transit
• Helped create a shared vision
• Helped “visualize” the vision
The ResultsThe Results
• Gained consensus
• Project is being advanced
• Better understanding of proposed improvements
• Ownership of the PD&E alternative’s geometry = No major re-design
• Selection of THE Preferred Alternative
• BEAT the original aggressive
project schedule!
Use the 3D Visualization as a Tool …
• 3D Visualization at Key Milestones
• Project Website
• Future Public Meetings
• Agency Coordination
• Value Engineering / Design Review
• Incorporate Data
(GIS, Environment, Traffic, Land Use, Public Comments)

Develop a Project that can be Implemented • Constructability Review• Review key decisions• Facilitate a “seamless” transition to Final Design • Develop the phasing of multiple design/construction
packages• Build onto the 3D Model
• Review & evaluate constructability, compatibility and MOT between adjacent projects
