Transportation Operations Projects
US41 and CR951 Intersection
The intersection of US 41 and CR 951/SR 951 is currently being rebuilt by FDOT forces as a part
of the U S 41 six-lane widening project. When completed, the intersection will have a northbound
triple left-turn lane and an eastbound dual right-turn lane, which will be able to operate at the
same time that the northbound left-turn is operating. Additional capacity improvements are an
eastbound dual left-turn lane and a southbound duaMeft turn lane. FDOT anticipates completion
of the entire project in November of 2003.
Davis Boulevard and CR951 Intersection
The design of the improvements fbr this intersection is complete and has been submitted to
FDOT for review and permitting. Intersection improvements will include provision of a median
on Davis Blvd. to eliminate the many conflict points caused by uncontrolled commercial
driveways close to the intersection. Additionally, there will be lanes constructed to provide a
dual left-turn northbound and a dual right-turn lane southbound on CR 951, and an exclusive
eastbound right-turn lane on Davis Blvd. The intersection's traffic signal will be replaced using
mast arm signal supports. Funding of this project is through an FDOT/County Joint Project
Agreement (JPA), which will be executed in July. The project is being advertised and
construction will commence in July immediately upon execution of the JPA.
Davis Boulevard and Commercial Intersection
Requests l~br this intersection are that left-turns be provided for both Commercial and for
Brookside Drive. Due to the fact that these street do not align into a normal 4-way intersection,
to allow both streets to have left-turn access from Davis Blvd. would require an additional lane
width in the roadway to allow the two left-turn lanes to pass one another without conflicting. As
there is not adequate right-of-way on Davis Blvd. to allow for an additional lane to be
constructed, there is currently no way to provide a left-turn on Davis Blvd. for both streets. This
intersection was recently rebuilt by the County, funded through a Local Area Project (LAP)
Agreement with FDOT. The modifications the County installed were the result of a safety
problem at the intersection caused by the wide median serving both left-turns without a physical
separation. One street had to loose its left-turn access, and it was decided that Davis Blvd. access
to Commercial Blvd. was more vital because that is the only way for Davis Blvd. traffic to access
Sandpiper.
Granada Right Turn Lane
Design is underway for an eastbound right turn lane on Granada at US 41, with construction
scheduled to start in June. Also, as a part of this project, an eastbound right-turn lane will be
constructed on Cypress Woods at US 41. The two projects will be on the same work order.
Traffic Light Sequencing
Desima Group 1 addresses establishing two System Control Centers and bringing 45
County operated and 2 l City operated signalized intersections into the new systems. The
project was let to bid by the Florida Department of Transportation in September of 2000.
Construction activities of installing the controllers, mast arms, and fiber optic cable for
communications is substantially complete. The contractor has installed 23 miles of
communications conduit along the roadway arterials in the City of Naples and the
western pan of the County, principally along or west of Airport Pulling Road. Twelve
intersections were completely rebuilt using mast arm signal supports.
All work in Design Group 1 was scheduled for completion by August of 2002. However,
although the work on the street has basically been completed, the contractor has proven
to be unable to implement the control system hardware and software in the control center
and has been unable to negotiate with the system vendor for adequate support to get the
system up and running. The FDOT and the City and County are currently negotiating
separate Joint Project Agreements that will allow the City and County to have the
projects completed by the system software vendor and pass the costs of completion on to
the FDOT for reimbursement.
Design Group 2 is in the last stages of design work and will start construction in FY
03/04. This Design Group will mostly address the eastern portion of the urban area,
between Airport Road and Collier Blvd. Design Group 2 will consist of adding 54
County and 18 City intersections onto the system, as well as installing 50 video cameras
to monitor the arterials fbr traffic incidents or operational problems. Given the problems
involved with the construction of Group I of the system, staff of the FDOT, County, and
City have agreed that the best way to serve the citizens of this area is to have local control
of the second signal system project construction. To that end, the three agencies are
negotiating an agreement so that the construction phase of this project will be managed
by the County and City through an $8 million Joint Project Agreement with the FDOT.

Town Hall Meeting Scheduled for May 15, 2003
Stormwater Topics
The following stormwater management information is provided for your use in preparing for the
upcoming Town Hall Meeting to be held at the Gulfview Middle School on May 15, 2003.
Gateway Triangle Drainage Improvements - Stormwater Management is putting forth a
considerable effort to address both current and proposed stormwater drainage facilities within the
boundaries of the Gateway Triangle. These efforts are as follows:
· Working with Road Maintenance field crews to undertake an extensive cleanout of
existing culverts and ditches along Linwood Avenue (between Shadowlawn Drive and
Commercial Blvd.) and Pine Street in preparation for the upcoming summer "rainy"
season;
· Designing the proposed pathway and associated drainage modifications along Linwood
Avenue (between Airport Road and Commercial Blvd.) in anticipation of seeking bids for
construction at the end of the summer "rainy" season;
· Working with Transportation Right-of-Way staff to identify available land with willing
sellers for the siting of adequate ponds (approximately 10 to 12 acres) to detain
stormwater during intense rainfall events and make purchase offers to acquire the land;
· Developing a broad range of stormwater control options for the engineering consultant to
evaluate that include, but are not limited to, pump station(s), additional storm drain
outfalls under US-41 and Davis Blvd., detention ponds, groundwater removal for Aquifer
Storage and Recovery (ASR) purposes, large storage tank(s), etc.; and
· Working with the Community Development and Environmental Services Division staff to
consider and develop new stormwater limitation standards for the Gateway Triangle.
Bayshore Drive Area Stormwater Considerations - Within the area accessed by Bayshore
Drive Stormwater Management staff are working on two major projects as follows:
· Lake Kelly Outfall Ditch -'This project is the major reconstruction of the old ditch along
the eastern side of the Lake Kelly pit. The construction of this project is almost totally
complete, as far as available easements would allow. The remaining tasks include some
final site cleanup work and establishment of a competent vegetative cover to all disturbed

land surfaces to reduce the potential fbr erosion. The northern (downstream) end of this
ditch has been greatly enlarged and a temporary earthen salinity control dike constructed.
This will provide much geater drainage capacity for all properties that historically have
drained through Lake Kelly. The southern most section of the Lake Kelly Ditch has not
been reconstructed due to the current land owners being unwilling to donate or sell the
necessary drainage easements at a reasonable price to the County.
Haldeman Creek Restoration (Dredging) - This project is currently under contract for the
development of a feasibility study, design of channel improvements, and permitting of
the proposed dredging. A final draft of the feasibility study has been submitted to
Stormwater Management staff for review, preliminary meetings have been held with the
Florida Department of Environmental Protection to discuss dredging and permitting
issues, and the consultant is initiating the design phase. This project is currently
scheduled for construction (dredging) implementation in June 2004, but an accelerated
schedule is being developed in an attempt to shorten the startup time by approximately 4
months. The revised schedule will be completed next week and sent out to all interested
parties.

Pathway Projects
Brief Description of MPO process for evaluating pathway projects
· Pathway Advisory Committee
Current Pathway Projects
· Project Descriptions
· Attached Table and Graphic
Short Run Pathway Projects (1-5 years)
· Attached Table and Graphic
Long Run Pathway Projects
· Comprehensive Pathway Plan
· 2020 Map
· Establishing Interconnectivity
At the moment, there are a number of potential pathway projects in the early
planning stages. The County's Comprehensive Pathway Plan identifies
several long-term projects within District 4 boundaries. A long-term 2020
bicycle and pedestrian facility map is incorporated into the Comprehensive
Pathway Plan. Unfortunately, many pathway projects are long-term
endeavors. However, some pathways/trails may be developed in the shorter
term depending on resources.
Select short run projects will be identified on a table and on a poster graphic.
The 2020 bike and ped facility map will also be used for reference.
In attempt to best realize a comprehensive and interconnected network of
pathways, the MPO is planning a thorough update of the Collier County
Comprehensive Pathway Plan. An update of this plan will go a long way in
establishing potential projects, priorities, and help us leverage grant funds.
Given this, update of the Pathway Plan is a priority. The MPO's Pathway
Advisory Committee (PAC) is working closely with staff on pathway issues
and the Pathway Plan update. We will continue to explore specific pathway
plans; but many are at the early point of preliminary staff discussion, grant
research, and project identification. Nevertheless, a well-defined system has
been instituted through the MPO to address short run pathway needs as will
be identified in the support materials.

County Beach Renourishment
Purpose: To present information about the next major County beach renourishment.
Background/Considerations: The last major renourishment had an anticipated life
of eight to ten years but the entire project was not constructed due to time constraints.
Annual monitoring reports indicate that the beach has eroded beyond the design
minimum and therefore renourishment is needed.
Coastal Planning & Engineering (CP&E) is working on a Sand Search and initial design.
The rough estimate for the renourishment is 600,000-900,000 cubic yards at a cost of $8-
$12 million. The planned contract will include the requirement to screen the material
prior to placement on the beach and this will likely result in the contractor electing to use
hopper barges rather than hydraulically pumping the sand directly onto the beach.
Fiscal Impact: The total estimated cost for the Sand Search, and all of the other
engineering services to prepare for the next major renourishment, is $1,235,000 with
another $8-12 million being needed for the construction. The Coastal Advisory
Committee and the Tourist Development Council will make recommendations on the
major renoudshment grant app!ication at their May meeting.
