Ms. Swinderman followed up and said that staff will trim the trees, however, it is one of the projects
within the Facilities Department to redo the parking lot at the Immokalee Community Park and
Immokalee Sports Complex. They will probably remove some of the oak trees due to the havoc that
occurs underneath the concrete. An exact number can’t be given but there are plans. In some cases,
they do plan to replace those trees with other trees that do not have much of an impact.
Ms. Lupita Vazquez Reyes asked Ms. Swinderman if any arborist are used to decide on which oak
trees or trees species get cut down or pruned.

• Project Overview
FDOT began the PD&E study on June 2, 2007, to increase capacity and improve traffic flow
for approximately 17 miles on State Rd 29, between Oil Well Road and SR 29. FDOT
evaluated several different alternatives to widen the existing 2 lanes to 4 lanes and a new
roadway.
• Design Refinements
The design requirements take place in the northern section of the project from County Road
846 or Immokalee Rd to SR 82. There have been no refinements made South of County
Road 846 (Immokalee Road). Many of the project alternatives that were considered were
eliminated based on in-depth environmental and engineering analysis and community input.
This project was included in the Moving Florida Forward Infrastructure Initiative.
Refinements include a 12-foot shared use path, 10-foot shared use path, roundabouts, widen
lane by one foot, design speeds, and nine pond sites. FDOT anticipates completion of this
PD&E Study in Summer 2024.
• Previous Engagements
FDOT offered multiple opportunities for the community to provide input during the project.
Project Newsletters were sent to community members within the study area, as well as to
other interested parties. Seven newsletters have been sent overall. FDOT is required to
advertise in a variety of other ways for each public meeting.
• Next Steps
A public meeting for the design segments is tentatively scheduled for 2025.
Ms. Andrea Halman commented on the number of advertisements made to spread the
information to others. She said that there’s not much of a target audience to where the
advertisements are made. She asked if the information on the upcoming meeting at the library
can be posted on social media such as Facebook.
Ms. Abra Horne said that this can be shared by anyone in the community if they’d like.
However, FDOT staff would need to get permission and they have policies and procedures.
Ms. Horne said she will share the comment to their design team as they move forward to make
sure they are reaching out to everybody. She also said that information is mailed to those who
own property along the projects.
Mr. Bernardo Barnhart commented on the mail outs that have been handed to community
members who have businesses down New Market Road. Many have notified him that they
have received the information on this study, they are excited to see how this project moves
along. He complimented FDOT staff in their efforts to provide information to the community
members.

She understands that the mailouts are provided to those who are within the project area,

whole Immokalee Area. Ms. Horne followed up and said that FDOT staff will look into the
ideas that have been made on advertising.
Ms. Anne Goodnight provided a comment and said that staff should take notice and be sure
that the roundabouts and roadways are convenient enough for Semi-Trucks to come in and out
to pick up their produce.

software helps staff evaluate what type of vehicles can make it through the roundabout and
help how to design it appropriately.

environmental impacts such as noise pollution. She asked if homeowners on Madison Avenue
are set to have any incentives for noise barrier. She also asked on the impact on the shallow
watershed.
Ms. Horne followed up and said that staff looked at the engineering analysis. and a good
amount of time is spent on the environmental analysis including noise. She will ask Mr. Jeffrey
James to contact Ms. Reyes so that he can provide more information on the noise. As for the
water quality, Ms. Horne said she will set up a meeting with Ms. Reyes to discuss into further
detail.

Project Refinements
The refinements below only apply to the northern portion (from County Road 846/Immokalee Road to SR 82) of the project. The northern
portion has been split into two segments for design.
Blue segment: CR 846 to SR 29 Bypass Junction
Purple segment: south of New Market Road to SR 82
Refinements since the public hearing include:
•A 12-foot shared use path for the entire blue segment (both
sides of the road)
•A 10-foot shared use path for the entire purple segment (both
sides of the road)•Revising the following intersections to a roundabout design:•CR 846
•Gopher Ridge Road
•New Market Road
•Widening the travel lanes for a portion of the blue segment by
one foot (from 11 to 12 feet)•Because of wider lanes, design speeds on the blue segmentare increased to 45-55 miles per hour and unified on the
purple segment to 55 miles per hour
•Adding nine pond sites - necessary for stormwater runoff

Project History
FDOT began this PD&E study in June 2007. Throughout the study, many alternatives were evaluated and eliminated based on in-depth
environmental and engineering analyses and community input.
Following the public hearing, held on November 15, 2018, Central
Alternative #2 was selected as the Preferred Alternative. However,
based on comments received at the hearing and further coordination with Collier County, a portion of this alternative was shifted to avoid impacts to the Immokalee Airport Park.
The northern portion of the project is funded for design. To meet
current FDOT design standards, refinements were made to this
section.
Ajustes al proyecto
Los ajustes a continuación solo aplican a la parte norte, desde la carretera del condado (County Road, o CR) 846/Immokalee Road hasta
SR 82. En el diseño, la parte norte se ha dividido en dos segmentos.
Segmento azul: Intersección con la circunvalación de CR 846
hasta SR 29
Segmento morado: Desde el sur de New Market Road hasta SR 82
Los ajustes realizados desde la audiencia pública incluyen:
•Una vía de uso compartido de 12 pies para todo el segmento
azul (ambos lados de la carretera)•Una vía de uso compartido de 10 pies para todo el segmentomorado (ambos lados de la carretera)
•El cambio a un diseño de rotonda vial a las siguientes
intersecciones:
•CR 846•Gopher Ridge Road•New Market Road•Ampliación de un pie (de 11 a 12 pies) de los carriles viales en
parte del segmento azul
•Debido a los carriles más anchos, las velocidades especificadas
en el diseño del segmento azul se aumentarán a 45-55 millas
por hora y en el segmento morado se unificarán a 55 millaspor hora•Se agregarán nueve sitios de estanques de retención,
necesarios para recoger la escorrentía de aguas pluviales
Historial del proyecto
FDOT comenzó este estudio de PD&E en junio de 2007. Durante el estudio, muchas alternativas se evaluaron y se eliminaron. Después
de la audiencia pública celebrada el 15 de noviembre de 2018, se
seleccionó la Alternativa Central Nro. 2 como la Alternativa Preferida. Sin
embargo, al considerar los comentarios recibidos en dicha audiencia
y tras coordinar con el condado de Collier, parte de esta alternativa se desplazó para evitar impactar en el Parque del Aeropuerto de Immokalee.
El diseño de la parte norte del proyecto está financiado. Para cumplir
con las normas de diseño actuales, se efectuaron ajustes a esta sección.
Los detalles de estos ajustes se encuentran en la página interior.
