A1A Tomorrow | Space for Everyone
Current Condition
Alternative 1: 40 mph with Cycle Track, Two-Way Left Turn Lane, & Minor Landscaping
100’ Existing Right of Way
Alternative 2: 40 mph with Wide Sidewalk, Median, & Low-level Landscaping
100’ Existing Right of Way
With no horizontal curvature on the southern end, the lowest target speed that Alternative 1 can achieve is 40 mph. Midblock crossings will not be raised and minimal landscaping will be placed in the spot traffic islands.
As with Alternative 1, the lowest target speed Alternative 2 can achieve is 40 mph. Midblock crossings will not be raised. Low-level landscaping (small trees) can be placed in the median with Alternative 2.
PROJECT GOALS BASED ON THE CITY OF CAPE CANAVERAL’S RESOLUTION
35
Highlights: S.R. A1A remains a 5-lane cross section. Spot traffic islands and a separated cycle track for bicyclists are provided. $9.5M estimated construction costs. Alternative 1 can be retrofitted to Alternative 3 design in the future.
Highlights: Continuous median provides organized vehicular access benefits and more landscaping opportunity, but no dedicated bicycle facility is provided. $13.2M estimated construction costs. Alternative 2 cannot be easily retrofitted to Alternative 3 design in the future.
Midblock Crossing for Alternative 1 Midblock Crossing for Alternative 2
Both roadway design alternatives utilize the highest level of feasible variations from FDOT design standards to achieve the best balance of providing multimodal features while maintaining safety for all modes - vehicles, pedestrians, and bicyclists.
