CFX Project Nos: 599-224, 599-223, 599-222 & 599-221 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. The work will include 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. 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 EAG will assist in providing environmental impact input in the evaluation of the feasibility of the project corridors. The main purpose of the EAG is to inform the project team of local needs, issues and concerns within the project study limits with regards to environmental impacts. Study corridor information sheets will be distributed at the meeting.
