Title
Hawthorne Road Corridor Assessment (B)
Explanation
In September 2012, Chen Moore and Associates was engaged to complete an Infrastructure Assessment and Visioning for the Hawthorne Road Corridor. The project began with intensive due diligence and mapping to evaluate and identify existing conditions (and future planned improvements) including roadway access, utilities and existing land uses. The goal of this work is to determine the existing conditions' impact on future development along the corridor.
Task One of the agreement included a preliminary evaluation of the corridor (from SE 14th Street to SE 24th Street). Intensive data collection from FDOT, GRU, City Public Works, Alachua County, FDEP and various utility companies is included and the final deliverable was an existing conditions map.
Task Two of the agreement included a utility analysis, utility mapping, environmental, land use and zoning analyses and the final deliverables are current utility, environmental and land use and zoning maps.
Task Three included visual resource analyses and regulatory due diligence to determine physical elements that will be impacted by any proposed designs for the corridor. Regulatory procedures that will be necessary to implement any improvements to the corridor were also considered and identified. Preliminary concept plans for the corridor have also been created and are the final deliverables under this contract.
CRA staff and representatives from Chen Moore and Associates will be presenting a summary of all final deliverables to the Board.
Fiscal Note
The corridor assessment is funded from the Eastside Primary Corridors account.
