Title

Southwest 62^nd Boulevard Connector Alternative Alignments (B)

This item is to allow Alachua County to present the City Commission with an update on the Southwest 62^nd Boulevard Connector Corridor study alternatives.

Explanation

Alachua County commissioned a corridor study to identify alternative alignments for a north south connector between SR 24 (Archer Road) and SR 26 (Newberry Road).  Four corridors were identified and presented to the Metropolitan Transportation Planning Organization (MTPO) at their April 10 meeting.  Since that meeting Alachua County's consultant HNTB has conducted more in-depth analysis of each of the four alternative corridors.  On October 21, 2008, the Alachua County Commission approved Alternative #4, a four-lane route.  They have requested an opportunity to present their findings to the City Commission prior to returning to the MTPO.

Fiscal Note

There is no fiscal impact to the City of Gainesville at this time.

Recommendation

The City Commission hear a presentation on the alternative alignments and discuss.
