Project Overview

Over the past 4 years, several traffic studies have been completed to analyze the impact of development south of Martin Luther King Jr. Parkway on the City's transportation network. SW 11th Street was studied to determine the impacts of reducing the existing three-lane cross-section to two-lanes with buffered bike lanes. It was determined that the existing and future traffic volumes would allow for only two-lanes of traffic to accommodate bike lanes on SW 11th Street. This new bike facility will be a key connection between existing and proposed trails and bike lanes in and around downtown.
The studies also determined that a northbound left turn lane at SW 11th Street would be required to maintain acceptable traffic operations and minimize delay. Additionally, a traffic signal would be warranted at the intersection of SW 11th Street and Tuttle Street upon the completion of the proposed soccer stadium near SW 14th Street and Martin Luther King Jr. Parkway.
