Project Description: CFX Project Development and Environment (PD&E) Study

Poinciana Parkway Extension

The Central Florida Expressway Authority (CFX) is conducting a PD&E Study for the proposed Poinciana Parkway Extension project. The study will determine if a limited access facility between the northern end of Poinciana Parkway to County Road 532 is viable and fundable in accordance with CFX policies and procedures.

Environmental Advisory Group (EAG) members will review the findings of the comparative evaluation of the alternatives and provide input on the preferred alternative. As a special advisory resource to the Central Florida Expressway Authority (CFX) and the consultant team, the EAG provides input regarding environmental impacts, local needs, concerns and potential physical, natural, social and cultural impacts that are crucial in the evaluation of corridor and alternative alignments.

The overall goals of the Poinciana Parkway Extension are to: provide improved connections between area roads; accommodate anticipated transportation demand; provide consistency with local and regional plans; support economic viability and job creation; support intermodal opportunities; and enhance evacuation and emergency services.

Public involvement and interagency coordination are an integral part of the assessment process, and multiple opportunities for participation are being provided.
