PLACE: Central Florida Expressway Authority’s Boardroom

GENERAL SUBJECT MATTER TO BE CONSIDERED: CFX Project No.: 599-224

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

CFX recently completed a Concept, Feasibility, and Mobility Study for the Poinciana Parkway Extension that concluded the project may be viable under CFX criteria. The CFX Board approved the findings and moved the project to the next study phase. This PD&E study will refine and evaluate the alternative from the concept study in greater detail.

The project is being broken into phases for further evaluation, with the CFX PD&E Study focusing on the extension to County Road (CR) 532. If the project is subsequently approved, it would move into design for eventual construction. A later phase will provide a connection to I-4, either at State Road 429 or at CR 532.

The overall goals of the Poinciana Parkway Extension are to enhance mobility from CR 532 to Poinciana Parkway; reduce congestion and delays on local roads; expand regional connectivity; provide transportation infrastructure to support planned growth; provide consistency with local plans and policies; and enhance safety.

As a special advisory resource to the Central Florida Expressway Authority (CFX) and the consultant team, the EAG will provide input regarding local needs, concerns and potential physical, natural, social and cultural impacts that will be crucial in the evaluation of corridor and alternative alignments.

A study information sheet will be distributed at the meeting.
