Transportation Planning

• Planning Process Coordination– State and Local/Regional Agencies– Regional Transportation Authorities– Metropolitan Planning Organization

• Elected Officials: Policy Board• Technical Committee: Professional Staff• Citizens Committee: Appointed Membership

– General Public• Public Involvement Meetings, Published

Materials


• Long Range Plan/Master Plan– 20 to 25 year horizon– Updated every 5 years– Begin with existing roadway systems– Evaluate policy strategies– Coordinated with regional planning (MetroPlan)– Identify corridors which need improvements – Identify priorities and general staging approach– Provide input to OOCEA’s implementation

phases and short range planning


• Short Range Plan– Updated annually– 5-Year Work Plan– Identifies and assigns funding sources

Project Development & Environment

• Steps in the process– Identify and map existing environmental

features• Social (cultural, neighborhood, recreational)• Natural (wetlands, habitats, hydrologic)• Physical (air, noise, water quality)

– Develop and refine traffic forecasts


• Steps in the process (continued)– Identify and evaluate potential corridors for

improvements: Opportunities and Constraints– Select the optimum corridor– Develop design concept

alternatives/alignments– Document positive and negative impacts– Select preferred design alignment


• Public involvement & Coordination activities: Ongoing throughout the project– Corridor and alternative concept workshops– Public hearing– Newsletters– Direct mailouts– Press releases– Internet web sites– State and local agency coordination– Environmental Advisory Group (EAG)

Coordination


• Documents prepared:– Public Involvement Plan– Location Hydraulics Report– Utility Impact Report– Cultural Resources Report– Wetland Evaluation Report– Geotechnical Report– Air Quality Report– Noise Study Report– Biological Assessment Report– Contamination Screening Report– Permit Coordination Report– Preliminary Engineering Report– State Environmental Report

Design

• Detailed data collection– Aerial mapping– Design and right-of-way surveys– Geotechnical (soils) surveys– Existing and proposed utility locations– Wetland limits delineated

Design

• Prepare construction plans– Roadway, bridges, and misc. structures– Drainage and permitting documents– Traffic signal plans– Maintenance of traffic plans– Utility coordination plans– Signing and pavement marking– Toll facilities– Roadway lighting– Landscaping treatments– Fiber optic network

Design

• Plans, specifications, estimates (PSE)– Specifications

• FDOT Technical Specifications• Supplemental specifications

– Estimates• Quantity calculations• Unit prices

Permitting

• Coordination continues from PD&E and Environmental Advisory Group activities

• Pre-application meetings at start of design• Application prepared/submitted at 60%

roadway plans and 100% drainage design, proceeding parallel with remaining design activities

Permitting

• Requires activities at numerous levels– Federal – State– Regional and Local

Permitting

• Federal agency requirements– US Army Corps of Engineers (ACOE)

• Nationwide & Individual wetland impact• Wetland Mitigation • No net loss of wetlands

– US Environmental Protection Agency• NPDES: Non-Point Discharge Elimination

System

Permitting

• State of Florida agency requirements– FDEP Environmental Resource Permit

• Includes Management and Storage of Surface Water

• Dredge and fill• Wetland Mitigation

– Florida Game and Freshwater Fish Commission• Wildlife impact on species of concern

Permitting

• Regional & Local Government requirements– Water management districts

• Environmental Resource Permit• Drainage• Wetland and wildlife impacts

– Local governments• Drainage Criteria• Wetland and wildlife impacts

Permitting

• Wetland Mitigation Options• Creation: Replace and Maintain• Mitigation “banking”: Public or Private• Beltway Mitigation Bill
