Study Overview:

The Florida Department of Transportation (FDOT) is currently conducting a PD&E Study for the Willoughby Boulevard Extension from State Road (S.R.) 714/Monterey Road to U.S. 1/S.R. 5/Federal Highway. A PD&E Study is FDOT’s process to evaluate the social, economic, and environmental impacts associated with a planned transportation improvement project. The purpose of this project is to provide system linkage in the roadway network by extending Willoughby Boulevard from its northern terminus and improve multimodal connectivity and mobility. A secondary purpose of the project is to address safety for bicyclists.

Purpose and Need:

The purpose of this project is to provide system linkage in the roadway network, reduce area congestion by providing an additional north-south corridor to improve movement of people and goods, improve travel, and safely accommodate bicycles and pedestrians to support the surrounding community's transportation needs.
