CATEGORY IV – ROADWAY IMPROVEMENTS:
The development of the Roadway Improvement component of the Capital Improvement Program is based on the goals and objectives set forth in the Comprehensive Plan and the specific recommendations or action strategies set forth in the Right-of-Way Master Plan.
Comprehensive Plan Goal: “TO PROVIDE AND ENCOURAGE A MULTIMODAL TRANSPORTATION SYSTEM THAT MEETS THE CIRCULATION NEEDS OF MARCO ISLAND IN AN SAFE AND EFFICIENT MANNER BUT DOES NOT ADVERSELY IMPACT THE QUALITY OF LIFE OF THE RESIDENTS.”
Comprehensive Plan Information – The City’s Comprehensive Plan is divided into two sections: Part 1 – Goals, Objectives and Policies; and Part 2 – Data and Analysis. Part 1 identifies the goal of the Transportation Element as listed above. Applicable Comprehensive Plan Objectives from Part 1 are:
· Promote a safe, convenient, and energy efficient multimodal transportation system
· Coordinate the transportation system with the Future Land Use Map to ensure population densities, housing and employment patterns, and land uses are consistent with the capabilities and capacities of the transportation network
· Coordination of the City’s Transportation Element with the MPO and FDOT to ensure project/improvement consistency with external plans and programs
· Maintain designed Levels of Service for arterial, collector, and local roads on Marco Island
· Protect and preserve existing and future rights-of-way to prevent structural encroachments and to ensure adequate ultimate roadway widths for maintenance of adopted level of service standards, consistent with this element, the 2020 Collier County MPO Transportation Plan, and the Land Development Code (LDC)
Part 2 of the Comprehensive Plan addressing Transportation Improvements is based on information and recommendations contained in the City’s Right-of-Way Master Plan (2000). Policy 1.1.1 of the Comprehensive Plan sought, “Incorporation of the recommendations contained in the Right-of-Way Master Plan into the five year Capital Improvement Element based on priority of need and availability of fiscal resources.”
Right-of-Way Master Plan Recommendations: The Right-of-Way Master Plan recommended that North and South Collier Boulevard, Bald Eagle Drive, and San Marco Road be designated as capacity and aesthetic improvement projects which have also been included in the Collier County 2025 Transportation Needs Plan.
Consistency With Adopted Schedule of Capital Improvements: The roadway improvement expenditures contained in this proposed Five-Year CIP promote financial consistency with the adopted Comprehensive Plan. An amount of $800,000 was allocated toward roadway improvement projects in FY07.
The Five-Year CIP for fiscal years 2007-2011 allocates $2,580,000 for Roadway Improvements.
Project #9: North Collier Boulevard Improvements (Buttonwood Court to San Marco Road)
Project Goal: “To reconstruct North Collier Boulevard from a rural roadway to an urban roadway to provide long-term capacity needs, to improve stormwater drainage, to remedy operational safety deficiencies, to create a shared use path for pedestrians and bicyclists, to enhance aesthetics through landscaping and decorative lighting, and to place overhead power lines underground.”
Project Objectives:
1. To commence construction of North Collier Boulevard with inclusion of utility relocation and expansion work as recommended under the City’s Utility Master Plan.
2. To proactively address and resolve design and property impact concerns by City Council and residents during the final design phase, including consensus on access management, Shared Use Paths, drainage improvements, and other community needs.
Project’s Relationship to Comprehensive Plan:
· “Promote a safe, convenient, and energy efficient multimodal transportation system.” (Section II, Objective 1.1)
· “Maintain designated Level of Service for arterials, collector and local roads on Marco Island.” (Section II, Objective 1.4)
· “The City will aggressively seek grants, and other funding sources to augment and expand the financial resources available for capital improvement projects.” (Section VIII, Objective 1.3)
Project’s Relationship to Right-of-Way Master Plan Recommendations:
· The scope of work proposed for North Collier Boulevard (to include reconstruction to an urban typical section, and construction of multimodal facilities and streetscape related improvements) is consistent with recommendations set forth in the Right-of-Way Master Plan.
Success Measurement: To commence and complete construction on schedule with special emphasis on development of maintenance of traffic and construction phasing plans to minimize public inconvenience and disruption of business operations.
Project Narrative: This project involves the reconstruction of North Collier Boulevard from a rural four-lane divided boulevard to an urban four-lane divided boulevard, an approximate distance of 2.5 miles.
North Collier Boulevard lies within an existing right-of-way corridor width of 100 feet. The existing curbed median is not of a sufficient width to provide refuge pavement areas at mid block locations and side street intersections for safe-cross over of vehicles and left turn movements. In conjunction with the preparation of an access management plan to determine optimum locations of median openings, medians will be constructed to enhance operational safety and an increase in service capacity. The planned scope of work includes Shared Use Paths, additional left turn lane bays, storm sewer systems, architectural lighting, streetscape and landscape improvements, major relocation and upgrades of underground and surface utilities, and signalization upgrades or new mast arm systems. The FY05 and FY06
budgets allocated $11,838,000. This $400,000 funds the balance of the project.

Project #10: Street Improvements
Project Goal: “To reconstruct inverted street intersection areas for resolution of drainage problems and correction of safety deficiencies, including rehabilitation of roadway pavements and sidewalks. To resurface streets and reconstruct failed or deteriorating alley pavements.”
Project Objectives:
1. To complete reconstruction of inverted street intersections in the Five-Year CIP through FY10, resulting in elimination of stormwater ponding and correction of operational safety and maintenance deficiencies.
2. To preserve the structural integrity and load carrying capacity of City streets through an annual resurfacing program.
3. To reduce long-term recurring expenditures for miscellaneous street maintenance and repairs through preservation of pavement conditions by asphalt resurfacing and milling.
4. To annually reconstruct and resurface deteriorated street and alley asphalt pavements caused by repetitive truckloads, failed sub-base stratum due to water table fluctuations, and shoulder distress and raveling.
Project’s Relationship to Comprehensive Plan:
· “Promote a safe, convenient, and energy efficient multimodal transportation system.” (Section II, Objective 1.1)
· “Maintain designated Level of Service for arterials, collector and local roads on Marco Island.” (Section II, Objective 1.4)
· “The City will aggressively seek grants, and other funding sources to augment and expand the financial resources available for capital improvement projects.” (Section VIII, Objective 1.3)
Project’s Relationship to Right-of-Way Master Plan Recommendations:
· Intersection improvements and resurfacing of streets under this project are consistent with recommendations outlined in the City’s Right-of-Way Master Plan as well as the Master Drainage Plan.
Success Measurement: Complete all construction activities in each fiscal year in which funding is allocated per the Five-Year CIP.
Project Narrative: This project involves the partial or full reconstruction of roadway intersection areas to resolve drainage problems, to replace raveled asphalt pavement, to resolve inadequate turning radii, to remedy safety concerns, to alleviate excessive ponding of stormwater, and to construct or reconstruct paved shoulders and sidewalk improvements.
The scope of work may also include reconstruction and resurfacing of deteriorated asphalt pavements caused by repetitive truckloads, failed sub-base stratum due to water table fluctuations, and shoulder distress and raveling. Storm sewer installations may also be required to eliminate drainage problems.
Street and alley improvement projects involve the reconstruction and resurfacing of deteriorated asphalt pavements caused by repetitive truckloads, failed sub-base stratum due to water table fluctuations, and shoulder distress and raveling. Since failed or deteriorated pavement conditions are usually verified upon visual inspection, individual maintenance projects for streets and alleys will not be selected for repair in a prioritized sequence based on a pavement serviceability rating system. However, repair work along alleys may need to be accomplished first due to the extensive loss of pavements and negative economic impacts to commercial business enterprises that depend on alleys for delivery of goods and products. The scope of work may also include some minor reconstruction, widening, and resurfacing
of localized failed pavements as well as milling of existing pavements to extend and maximize the pavement design life.
