FDOT District 7:
118th Avenue (CR 296) PD&E Study
US 19 to East of the Roosevelt Connector

Pinellas County, Florida

American prepared a feasibility study and project development and environmental (PD&E) study to evaluate appropriate laneage and intersection configurations along this 1.5 mile corridor. The project included defining alternatives including intersections at-grade and grade separated interchanges along 118th Avenue at US 19, 49th Street and the Roosevelt Connector. The feasibility study evaluated regional and local access providing detailed travel forecasting, conducting an environmental fatal-flaw analysis, evaluating integration with adjacent projects and evaluating cost scenarios, including possible staging options. The PD&E study continued from the completed feasibility study with additional environmental assessment, public involvement activities and refinement of alternatives. The Federal Highway Administration (FHWA) approved a Type II Categorical Exclusion on this project. American also provided the FDOT and Pinellas MPO with a detailed sub-area priority analysis for numerous proposed projects in the middle Pinellas County area.
