Colonial Boulevard Alternatives Analysis

Client:

Lee County, FL

Background:

Colonial Boulevard is a primary arterial through the heart of Lee County from Cape Coral across the river, through the City of Fort Myers, and to Lehigh Acres. Traffic volumes along this facility are very high, and this facility currently provides a mixture of at-grade intersections and grade-separated interchanges.

ADEAS-Q served as a subconsultant to MT to identify and develop various alternatives along Colonial Boulevard from MacGregor Boulevard through US 41. This section of roadway traverses through the City of Fort Myers, where there is an adopted local resolution to maintain at-grade intersections. Therefore, an emphasis has been placed to identify more efficient traffic operational improvements within the public right-of-way and to also improve multimodal access.

ADEAS-Q Responsibilities Include:

  • Crash History Evaluation
  • Conduct Field Reviews
  • Perform a Road Safety Audit (RSA)
  • Review Traffic Analysis
  • Develop Project Alternatives
  • Identify Multimodal Improvements
  • Public Involvement
  • Report Development
