Description
The project consists of widening of existing Ficquette Road from a two-lane, undivided facility to a four-lane divided roadway from south of Ingelnook Drive to south of Summerlake Park Boulevard, a distance of approximately 1.8 miles. The project will include two 11-foot wide travel lanes in each direction separated by a raised, grassed median. A multi-use path will be provided on the west side and a five-foot concrete sidewalk will be provided along the east side. The project will include realigning the existing S-curve at the Ficquette Road/Reams Road/Summerlake Park Boulevard intersection along with the addition of a roundabout at that location. Intersection improvements will also be provided at Old Thicket Trace, New Independence Parkway and the Deputy Scott Pine Community Park entrance. New stormwater retention ponds will be required. Additional right-of-way will be needed for the roadway and stormwater improvements. Lighting and landscaping will be provided along the roadway corridor. The project will be designed in general accordance with the Ficquette/ Porter Road Preliminary Engineering Report as approved by the Board of County Commissioners.
