Project Description: CFX Concept, Feasibility & Mobility Studies – Poinciana Parkway Extension / I-4 Connector; Southport Connector Expressway; Northeast Connector Expressway & Osceola Parkway Extension

The Central Florida Expressway Authority (CFX) is conducting concept, feasibility and mobility studies for the above-referenced corridors. CFX is evaluating the four previously studied transportation corridors to determine if they are viable and fundable in accordance with CFX policies and procedures. The corridors are in Osceola County, with small portions in Orange and Polk counties.

All meetings will be held from 5:30 p.m. until 7:30 p.m. The Kickoff Public Meetings will be held in an open house format. Community members may come at any point within the advertised time to view the exhibits, to ask questions of study staff and to provide comments. A looping audio visual presentation providing an overview of the study corridors will be available for viewing throughout the meetings.

An Officials’ Briefing will be held from 4:00 p.m. – 5:00 p.m. on September 14 at the Association of Poinciana Villages Community Center, 445 Marigold Avenue, Poinciana, FL 34759. Agency and study staff will provide a formal presentation on the study corridors, followed by a question and answer session. Officials also will be able to view the study exhibits and provide comments.

The overall goals of these study corridors are to: improve roadway connections from I-4/SR 429 to Florida’s Turnpike, to US 192 and SR 417; provide additional traffic capacity with the study area; enhance mobility of the area’s growing population and economy; reduce congestion and delays on local roads by providing a new limited-access transportation option; provide for the incorporation of transit options; and promote regional connectivity.

The work includes the evaluation and documentation of the physical, natural, social and cultural environments within the corridors and the potential impacts associated with the various mobility alternatives. Transportation demands for each corridor will be determined and a range of transportation mobility options and programs will be developed to adequately meet the future demands.
