ATTACHMENTS: "A" — City of Oviedo Road Project Information "B" — City of Winter Springs' Resolution Number 2010 -11 Attachment "A" SR 426/CR 419 4 -LANE WIDENING (FROM PINE AVE. TO LOCKWOOD BOULEVARD) Detailed Project Description: The SR 426/CR 419 (Broadway Street) consists of a 2.5 mile roadway widening from a two -lane undivided facility to a four -lane divided urban facillity beginning at Pine Avenue and ending at Lockwood Boulevard with continuous 5' sidewalks and designated bike lanes along both sides. The width of the travel lanes, median and sidewalks may vary but will generally consist of four (4) 12 -foot travel lanes separated by a raised 22 -foot median. The project, 0.75 miles, is State Road 426, from Pine Ave. to Central Ave. (SR434) and the remaining portion, 2 miles, from Central Ave. to Lockwood Boulevard is County Road 419. This roadway corridor is an east -west principal urban arterial that provides connectivity from the SR 417 (Greenway) to Geneva, Chuluota and Orange County Line. This is the only section of a continuous corridor SR -426/ CR -419 which is not a 4 -lane section. This project runs through the center of existing downtown area in Oviedo and will include, as a major component of the project, the re- alignment of CR 426 for added queue length and improved signalization design. The realignment will also play a key role in the revitilazation the old downtown area, rich in historic and community facilities, by creating socio- economic opportunities for infill development and redevelopment newly adopted by the City in its Dowtown Redevelopment Plan as well as improving access points for increased mobility and pedestrian safety. There will also be an opportunity to provide continuous sidewalk paths that connect the existing Cross Seminole Trail on the north to the Cross Seminole Trail on the south. In addition, the intersection of SR 434 and SR 426 will also be improved for lane capacity and movement of vehicles in the north -south direction. The project will address a major flooding concern located at the intersection of South Lake Jessup and SR 426 as well as address other localized drainage issues in the surrounding downtown area. Infrastructure for potential transit stop locations will also be included in the scope of work for design. The project is expected to improve environmental water quality issues with the implementation of fourteen (14) stormwater ponds for treatment and attentuation of site runoff. Total Project Cost is estimated at $88 million which includes final design, permitting, construction & right of way acquisition. Previous federal funding includes $1.6 million in the 2005 Highway and Transit Reauthorization bill (SAFETEA -LU), $285,000 in FY2009 TCSP funds and $1 million was recently approved in the FY 2010 Omnibus Appropriations bill for this project. Attachment "A" Main Project Points: • The City of Oviedo's #1 Transportation Priority. • The City is working in partnership with Seminole County and FDOT. • Roadway is currently constrained; quadrupling of population from approximately 8,200 in 1980 to current 2009 estimate of 32,740 taxes the road's vehicle capacity. • The improvement of SR 426/CR 419 from two to four lanes will provide a significant benefit for regional mobility in southeast Seminole County due to its proximal connection to SR 417 (a SIS facility). • It will serve to improve long -range transfer of goods and services to Geneva and Chuluota and regions beyond. • Facilitates transportation to UCF (integral for students, educators, football fans with new stadium), Research Park & other technology and education -based facilities in the area. • Pedestrian linkage through the intersection including the Cross Seminole Trail. Current pedestrian conditions very unsafe (3 schools within 'IA mile of this intersection) limited sidewalks and pedestrian walkways /crossings. • This corridor has been identified by METROPLAN ORLANDO as a "Regionally Significant Roadway "; included in the METROPLAN Orlando Urban Area Prioritized Project List. • Potential to support established economic development objectives currently being implemented within the City of Oviedo for the Redevelopment of the City's existing downtown and incorporating new development for a New Downtown. • The Project is under design, land acquisition is on -hold awaiting funding: o Planning, Design and Environmental (PD &E) report has been completed. o The City and County funding portions are in place. o 60% plans completed, final design (Phase 1) Construction could begin following land acquisition. • The Florida Department of Transportation has completed the widening of SR 426 from Mitchell Hammock Road to Pine Avenue. This project has created a substantial bottleneck at the SR- 434/SR -426 intersection if 4- laning does not proceed in a timely manner. Funding: • City of Oviedo $8,000,000 (Sales tax), $4,000,000 currently available. • Seminole County $6,000,000 • TRIP $ 9,500,000 (deferred from 2013 to 2014, maybe longer) as a result of the August 08 Revenue Estimates. • 2005 Highway and Transit Reauthorization Bill (SAFETEA -LU) $1,600,000 earmarked for design of which $1,400,000 was received, $285,000 in FY2009 TCSP funds and $1 million was recently approved in the FY 2010 Omnibus Appropriations bill for this project.
