  1. Miccosukee RoadResurfacing and Re-striping Public Input Requested On-Street Parking vs Bike Lanes

  2. What’s Happening? • Miccosukee Road is due for resurfacing. • Due to the build-up of asphalt from prior resurfacings, the road will be extensively milled first. • Curb sections and sidewalk ramps will be reconstructed as part of the project.

  3. Re-Striping • Normal practice when resurfacing is to restore the original striping plan. • The Bicycle and Pedestrian Master Plan calls for the on-street parking to be replaced with bike lanes when the road is resurfaced. • Recognizing impacts to the community served by this road, public input is being requested for consideration.

  4. What is this Master Plan? • The Tallahassee-Leon County Metropolitan Planning Organization (MPO) developed the plan in 2004. • This was the first strategic 20-year plan to improve safety, connectivity and comfort for pedestrians and bicyclists. • The MPO is now known as the Capital Region Transportation Planning Association (CRTPA)

  5. What are the Project Limits? • Miccosukee Road from west of Magnolia to Meridian Road. • Turnouts to side roads will also be improved.

  6. Are there Options? • Leon County would like to receive your input on three possible options for the re-striping of the road. This information will be presented to the Board of County Commissioners for consideration. • The options are on the following slides.

  7. Option 1 – Bike Lanes • The Master Plan currently directs that this option be used. • The Board of County Commissioners can re-direct staff. • This plan would remove all on-street parking for the project limits and install bicycle lanes in their place.

  8. Option 2 – Modified Bike Lanes • This option would call for replacing parking with Bike Lanes from Hillcrest to Meridian, but replacing the parking between Hillcrest and Magnolia. • The travel lanes would be marked with sharrows, indicating that the lanes are shared with bicyclists.

  9. Option 3 – Replace Parking • This option would consist of replacing the existing striping plan, with parking, when the resurfacing work is complete.

  10. Public Meeting • At the Public Meeting on April 29, County staff will have displays around the room and will be available to discuss the various options and to receive suggestions and input from you, the public. • Staff from the MPO / CRTPA will also be available to discuss the plan recommended in the Master Plan.
