City Commission Meeting September 10,2007 Page 2 6. Presentations/Commendations Mr. John Moore, Florida Department of Transportation, gave a presentation regarding the U.S. 17-92 and S.R. 436 Flyover Project construction timeline. He stated that a Project Development and Environmental Study (PD&E) had been conducted and the preliminary engineering or design phase currently underway is scheduled for completion in July 2008. The district has prepared a fmancial plan for right-of-way acquisitions for fiscal years 2012 to 2015 at $14 million per year for construction to be funded in fiscal years 2016 to 2018. The department manages its activities based upon a five-year work program which undergoes local and statewide public hearings and is approved by the Governor and the Legislature. The current work program covers fiscal years 2008 to 2012 and each year a new fifth year, to 2013, was added to the work program based upon the priority list established by MetroPlan Orlando, which covers Seminole, Orange and Osceola Counties. The 17-92 and S.R. 436 project was ranked #1 on a priority list by MetroPlan when the fmancial plan was developed to fund the right-of-way project. Mr. Moore indicated that the project may slip to #2 on the priority list, being replaced by another Seminole County project which is the widening of U.S. 17-92 from Sheppard Road to Lake Mary Boulevard. The cost for right of way acquisition and construction for the proposed 17-92/436 interchange is estimated at $102 million; cost for the widening of 17-92 from Sheppard Road to Lake Mary Boulevard is estimated at $136 million. As the #2 project on the priority list, funding for construction of the U.S. 17-92/S.R. 436 Interchange Project would not occur until around 2025 or 2026. A meeting with MetroPlan is scheduled for Wednesday, September 12,2007 in Winter Park regarding this project change and he urged the City to attend. Mr. Moore will provide the Commission an up-to-date list of properties that have been acquired by the Florida Department of Transportation for the Flyover Project. 7.
