4 Midway oad ( 712) from Glades ut Off oad to Selvitz oad Financial Project umber: Page 1 EXEIE SMMA he Florida epartment of ransportation (FO), istrict Four, is proposing to widen Midway oad ( 712) from Glades ut Off oad to Selvitz oad in St. Lucie ounty, Florida. he project limits include one bridge over the Florida urnpike (Bridge I# ) and anal that runs parallel to Midway oad within the limits of the project. he improvements consist of widening Midway oad from two to four 11-foot lanes and include 7-foot buffered bike lanes, curb and gutter, a raised median, a 6-foot sidewalk on the north and a 12-foot shared use path on the south. here are two alternatives being investigated to accomplish the widening. he first alternative (Alternative 1) is to shift the alignment to the north and avoid impacting the canal. he second alternative (Alternative 2) is widen to the south and enclose anal -103 with a box culvert that will be an extension to the box culvert under construction for the adjacent segment. he project site is located within Section 1 of ownship 36 South, ange 39 East and Section 6 of ownship 36 South, ange 40 East. he project is in the orth Fork sub basin of the St. Lucie Estuary atershed as defined by the South Florida ater Management istrict (SFM). he project traverses two (2) ater Body I s (BI) as identified by the Florida epartment of Environmental Protection (EP). he project area generally flows from north to south and outfalls into anal -103 through cross drains along the roadway. anal -103 outfalls into orth Fork of the St. Lucie iver, which ultimately outfalls into the St. Lucie Aquatic Preserve, which is designated as an Outstanding Florida ater (OF). he purpose of this Location Hydraulic eport is to address base floodplain encroachments resulting from the roadway improvements evaluated in the P&E Study. In accordance with Executive Order Floodplain Management, SO Order , Floodplain Management Protection, and Federall-Aid Policy Guide 23 F 650A, Floodplains must be protected. he intent of these regulations is to avoid or minimize highway encroachments within the 100-year (base) floodplains and to avoid supporting land use development incompatible with floodplain values. he project is designated Zone X by the Federal Emergency Management Agency s (FEMA) Flood Insurance ate Map (FIM), meaning there are no floodplains in the vicinity of the project. his classifies the study as o Involvement. Final Location Hydraulic eport

5 Midway oad ( 712) from Glades ut Off oad to Selvitz oad Financial Project umber: Page 2 SEIO 1 POJE ESIPIO he Midway oad/ounty oad () 712 project corridor is centrally located in the eastern part of St. Lucie ounty, Florida, and is owned and maintained by St. Lucie ounty. he project corridor extends approximately 1.6 miles along Midway oad (oadway I ), from Glades ut Off oad (Mile Post 5.813) to Selvitz oad (Mile Post 7.405). he project ties into the existing 4-lane section to the west of Glades ut Off oad and to future 4-lane segments from Selvitz oad to just east of S Highway 1. he project corridor is located in unincorporated St. Lucie ounty but is the northern border to the ity of Port St. Lucie. Midway oad ( 712) is a major east-west roadway that provides a vital connection to residents and commuters to and from Interstate 95 (I-95) to the commercial areas along S 1. ithin the project limits, Midway oad ( 712) is a two-lane undivided roadway with a varying posted speed from 35 to 45 miles per hour (mph). It is functionally classified as an rban Principal Arterial and is designated as a hurricane evacuation route by the Florida ivision of Emergency Management. he existing roadway typical section consists of two 12-foot lanes, one in each direction, and the existing right-of-way (/) varies with a minimum width of 70 feet. he land uses consist of residential, commercial, government, and industrial facilities, such as ropicana Products, Inc., EMEX, Packers of Indian iver Ltd., S Post Office, St. Lucie ounty Sheriff s Office, and ew Horizons of the reasure oast, Inc. he study corridor includes a bridge (I ) over Florida's urnpike (S 91). he Florida East oast (FE) railroad traverses the corridor by running adjacent and parallel to the Glades ut Off oad. anal 103, which was previously part of the orth St. Lucie ater ontrol istrict, but has since been transferred to St. Lucie ounty, is the principal receiving water body for the project area and conveys stormwater from the west side of Florida's urnpike through an existing concrete box culvert. he canal runs parallel along the south side of Midway oad ( 712) and, after Selvitz oad, it diverges and continues southeasterly to discharge into the orth Fork of the St. Lucie iver. he orth Fork is designated as an Outstanding Florida ater and an Aquatic Preserve. It is the main collector water body in St. Lucie ounty and discharges into the Indian iver Lagoon. he canal, along with the adjacent vegetative buffer, provides a physical separation to the residential homes on the south side. he Midway oad/ 712 Project evelopment & Environment (P&E) Study from Glades ut Off oad to Selvitz oad will evaluate alternatives to widen the existing road from two to four lanes within the project limits in order to satisfy future traffic demand and capacity needs. he proposed study will also consider pedestrian, bicycle, and transit facilities and improvements to freight mobility, and it will evaluate operational improvements and access management into some commercial businesses along the project corridor. Additional right-of- way requirements have been evaluated during the P&E study for offsite ponds in order to meet stormwater management requirements. Please refer to the Final Pond Siting eport prepared for this study. Final Location Hydraulic eport

6 Midway oad ( 712) from Glades ut Off oad to Selvitz oad Financial Project umber: Page Purpose and eed Based on recent traffic data from St. Lucie ounty, the facility does not adequately handle the existing traffic demand. ithout capacity improvements, the traffic operations along the corridor will continue to deteriorate. he primary purpose for this project is to provide additional capacity to meet existing and future traffic needs, improve safety by alleviating existing roadway and capacity deficiencies, and allow opportunities for pedestrian, bicycle, and transit facilities. he additional capacity will also improve freight mobility and enhance emergency evacuation along the project corridor. he purpose and need of this project include ransportation emand, apacity, Plan onsistency, Social emands and Economic evelopment, Modal Interrelationships, and oadway eficiencies. 1.2 Alternatives onsidered hree build alternatives, including the ransportation System Management and Operations (SMO) alternative, were developed and considered during the preliminary engineering phase of this study. he o-build Alternative, SMO Alternatives, and Build Alternative 1 (anal Avoidance) and Alternative 2 (Box ulvert) are described below o-build Alternative o improvements are made to Midway oad ( 712) within the limits of the study Build Alternatives ransportation System Management and Operations (SMO) Alternatives SMO alternatives involve improvements designed to maximize the utilization and efficiency of the existing facility through improved system and demand management. he various SMO options generally include traffic signal and intersection improvements, access management, and transit improvements. he additional capacity required to meet the projected traffic volumes along Midway oad ( 712) in the design year cannot be provided solely through the implementation of SMO improvements Build Alternative 1 (anal Avoidance) he typical section includes two, 11-foot travel lanes in each direction separated by a 22-foot median. Seven-foot buffered bike lanes would be provided in each direction located adjacent to the outside travel lanes. ype F curb and gutter is used along the inside and outside lanes and collects stormwater runoff which is then directed to stormwater retention ponds. A six-foot wide sidewalk would be provided on the north side of the roadway, and a 12-foot-wide shared-use path would be provided along the south side of the roadway. he alignment for this alternative would shift to the north to avoid impacts to anal 103. his typical section requires a minimum of 153 feet of /. Since the existing ounty / width varies between 107 feet and 153 feet, from zero feet up to 46 feet of / would need to be acquired along the north side of the roadway. he design speed for this typical section would be 45 mph.

7 Midway oad ( 712) from Glades ut Off oad to Selvitz oad Financial Project umber: Page Build Alternative 2 (Box ulvert) he roadway and pedestrian features of the typical section for this alternative are similar to Alternative 1 except that anal 103 would be enclosed with a box culvert. he canal is located within / owned by both St. Lucie ounty and the ity of Port St. Lucie. his typical section requires a minimum of 160 feet of /. Approximately 25 feet to 32.5 feet of / would need to be acquired from the ity of Port St. Lucie along the south side of the roadway. Additionally, up to 28 feet of / would need to be acquired along the north side of the roadway. he design speed for this typical section would be 45 mph. SEIO 2 FLOOPLAIS he Federal Emergency Management Agency (FEMA) has developed a Flood Insurance ate Map (FIM) for the study area. he relevant FIM panel numbers are J, J, J and J, for St. Lucie ounty, Florida dated February 16, he project is designated Zone X and will not have any floodplain impacts. Please refer to the FEMA Map in Appendix 1. SEIO 3 OLSIO In conclusion, the following floodplain statement is a slightly modified version of statement umber 1 in the FO P&E Manual, tailored for this project: "All work proposed by this study is outside the horizontal limits of the 100-year floodplain and no work is being performed below the 100-year flood elevation. As a result, this project does not encroach upon the base floodplain." Final Location Hydraulic eport
