Narcoossee Roadway Corridor Analysis

Osceola County Board of County Commissioners Meeting

December 4, 2006

http://www.osceola.org/index.cfm?lsFuses=department/Engineering/EngCurrentProjects&nChapterID=15776

Location

Narcoossee Road

• Corridor Study from US-192 to Orange County line (~7.4 miles)

• Primary north-south arterial road in Northeast County

Existing Conditions

• 2 lane rural arterial road

• 12 – foot travel lanes

• 4 – foot shoulders

• Open drainage system

• 55 MPH speed limit

Need for Improvement

• Current Average Annual Daily Trips (AADT) = 15,002 – 16,247

• Projected to fail adopted Level of Service (LOS) ‘D’ in 2010

• By 2030, projected 44,000 – 47,500 AADT

Need for Improvement

• Safety– 2005: 21 accidents (7 injuries)

– January 2006 – March 2006: 9 accidents (10 injuries)

Typical Sections

• Urban section

• Closed drainage

• Design for 6-lane

• Construct 4-lane

• 45 MPH design speed

Typical Section - IA

Typical Section - IB

Typical Section - IC

Typical Section II

Methodology - Roadway

• Typical section requires 130’ of R/W

• Minimize R/W takes– Existing R/W Typically 100’– Many segments of 130’ R/W

• Minimize impacts to existing buildings

• Minimize environmental impacts

Cyril’s Dr. to Orange County Line

Existing Conditions:

• Single family residential on both sides

• Houses on left are closer to road

• Reduced typical section

Preliminary Recommendation:

• Right widening

• 15’ additional R/W required

Orange County Line to Boggy Creek Rd.

• Inter-local agreement

• Maintain reduced typical section

• Orange County is constructing 6-lanes

• Possibly re-align Boggy Creek Rd. intersection

Schedule

Phase I - US 192 to Rummel Road

Design 1/07 To 12/07

R/W 4/07 To 5/08

Construction 7/08 To 1/10

Phase II - Rummel Road to Jack Brack Road

Design 10/07 To 10/08

R/W 4/08 To 5/09

Construction 7/09 To 7/11

Phase III – Jack Brack Road to Boggy Creek Road

Design 8/08 To 8/09

R/W 2/09 To 3/10

Construction 5/10 To 5/12

Cost

Right-of-way $12,600,000

Engineering $6,102,000

Construction $61,024,000

CEI $6,102,000

Program Mgmt. $6,102,000

Total $91,930,000

Recommendations

• Continue public involvement• Reduce speed limit• Closed drainage system• Investigate landscape options• Investigate noise abatement options• On street bicycle lanes and/or multi-use paths• Reduced typical section at north end to minimize

impacts
