The County will be responsible for acquisition of right-of-way for the project and this action includes establishing a $1,000,000 budget to begin the ROW phase.

| | | | | | | | III. | BACKGROUND AND IMPLICATIONS OF ACTION |
|
| | | | | | | | | A) | Board Action and Other History | | | The Florida Department of Transportation began a Project Development and Environment (PD&E) Study in January 2020 along approximately 5.7 of Burnt Store Road from Van Buren Parkway to just north of the Charlotte County Line. The study is evaluating alternatives to widen this segment of Burnt Store Road from a two-lane undivided roadway to a four-lane divided roadway and expandable to six lanes in the future when need arises. FDOT has agreed to modify the PD&E contract to include advancing design plans to 60% and development of a design-build criteria package that can be provided to the County for completion of the project.
This action will approve County funding for the next phase of design to 60% in the amount of $2,500,000. Also included in this action is funding of $1,00,000 to begin right-of-way purchases that will be handled by the County.
