Description of Improvement
Issue Addressing
7. Lithia Pinecrest Road Intermittent Widening
Widen from two to four lanes between Erindale Drive and Bloomingdale Avenue and between Brooker Road and Lumsden Road. Widen from four to six lanes for entire length of corridor.
Address congestion on Lithia Pinecrest Road by providing additional capacity at key locations.
8. Lumsden RoadWidening - Kings Avenue to John Moore Road
Address congestion on Lumsden Road at most congested intersections to provide better connection to John Moore Road. Address congestion on Lithia Pinecrest Road by providing additional capacity to support uneven travel patterns in AM and PM peak periods. Address left turn bay deficiencies at these key intersections near I-75 and Selmon Expressway. Address congestion on Lithia Pinecrest Road by providing additional capacity to support uneven travel patterns in AM and PM peak periods. Limited option to not result in impacts to bridge over Alafia River.
9. Lithia Pinecrest Road Uneven Widening
Widen northbound lanes from one to two lanes between Fishhawk Boulevard and Bloomingdale Avenue and southbound lanes from one to two lanes between Adelaide Avenue and Lumsden Road. Extension of westbound left turn bay on Causeway Boulevard at the Falkenburg Road/Causeway Boulevard intersection. Addition of second eastbound left turn bays on Causeway Boulevard at the Brandon Town Center/Causeway Boulevard intersection. Widen northbound lanes from one to two lanes between south of New River Hills Parkway and Bloomingdale Avenue and southbound lanes from one to two lanes between Adelaide Avenue and Lumsden Road. Convert Lithia Pinecrest Road/Fishhawk Boulevard intersection to a continuous green and widen northbound lanes from one to two lanes between Fishhawk Boulevard and south of Lithia Springs Road. New two lane roadway connection for Providence Lakes Road between Ledgestone Drive and Vista Cay Court.
10. Causeway Boulevard Intersections Turn Bay Improvements
11. Lithia Pinecrest Road Uneven Widening (limited/reduced option)
12. Providence Lakes Road Connection - Ledgestone Drive to Vista Cay Court
Provide new east-west connection between Kings Avenue and Providence Road.
4.2 Alternative Sets In addition to the Lithia Pinecrest full widening alternative (see Figure 18), seven other alternative sets were developed using combinations of the twelve improvement projects previously identified. The best performing improvements in these alternatives were identified and combined into Alternative 8, the recommended alternative. These alternative sets were
coded into separate Aimsun models and compared against the proposed Lithia Pinecrest Road widening alternative. Table 3 provides a comparison of the improvement projects used in each of the alternative sets. Figures 19 through 26 graphically show the improvements included in each alternative set. The roadway segments with proposed capacity related projects are highlighted in orange and intersection improvement projects are circled in green on the figures.
