1.0 INTRODUCTION <br />Based upon current traffic volumes and projected growth, the Indian River <br />County Metropolitan Planning Organization (MPO) has identified 58th <br />Avenue between 26th Street and 53rd Street as being potentially <br />capacity deficient within the 2040 Long Range Transportation Plan (2040 <br />LRTP). As such, the County has begun the design process to expand 58th <br />Avenue from a two-lane rural corridor to a four -lane divided corridor. <br />This Corridor Study evaluates the impacts associated with the <br />contemplated 58th Avenue corridor improvements between 47th Street and <br />1/4 mile north of 49th Street. 58th Avenue roadway right-of-way width <br />south of 49th Street is 50 feet. North of 49th Street, the roadway right- <br />of-way width is 130 feet. The current 58th Avenue roadway section is a <br />two-lane rural corridor. The roadway widening will consist of expanding <br />the 58th Avenue corridor to a four -lane urban section with a raised <br />median, bike lanes and pedestrian facilities. <br />This study will examine the alternative design routes and the "No - <br />Build" alternative based on factors such as long-range planning, <br />safety, environmental aspects, alignment alternatives and costs. Figure 1 <br />delineates the study limits. <br />Kimley>> Horn 159 <br />
