The document presents a multi-modal planning guidebook by FDOT District 5, highlighting the need for integrated transportation planning in response to changing travel patterns and increased population. It emphasizes a shift towards accommodating all modes of transportation, improving community connectivity, and prioritizing safety and sustainability. The guidebook outlines strategies for effective land use and transportation investments to address funding shortfalls and enhance livable communities.

2. Our Transportation World Is Changing

3. Crossing the Continent

4. “We are pushing ahead with a great road program, a road program that will take this Nation out of its antiquated shackles of secondary roads… It will be a nation of great prosperity, but will be more than that: it will be a nation that is going ahead every day. With… our population increasing at five every minute, the expanding horizon is one that staggers the imagination.”

20. TRANSPORTATION DESIGN FOR LIVABLE COMMUNITIES “It is the policy of the Department to consider Transportation Design for Livable Communities features on the State Highway System …” Principles:
1.Safety of all modes
2.Balancing community values and mobility needs
3.Efficient use of energy resources
4.Protection of the environment
5.Coordinated land use and transportation planning
6.Local and state economic development goals
7.Complementing and enhancing existing Department standards and processes

30. Transportation & Community Building Strategies from the SR 50 Multi-Modal Corridor Study

31. •4-lane major arterial, recently widened to 6 lanes
•Future travel demand far exceeds future capacity
•Limited alternative parallel network
•Roadway being used for BOTH local and regional trips
•Designated a multi-modal corridor in TRANSPORTATION 2035
•Multi-modal solutions viable only with land use strategies

the challenge

32. 1974
The Turnpike - now completed - provides a new and faster connection to N & S Florida
Small subdivisions become a more common as a development type
Commercial Development starts along SR 50 near US 27
Residential development continues S & E of downtown

33. 1999
Citrus Tower Blvd becomes a major connection to SR-50
Rapid residential development occurs

34. 2010
Few sections of local network added
Most of undeveloped land is located along the south side of SR 50 and East of US 27
Development of large commercial parcels becomes common
Some development on previously approved master planned communities continues
