Mr. Daniel Hardy from Renaissance Planning Group, in Washington D.C. delivered what was to be the final say to a plan that has been on the books since 1992. It was the U.S. 41 Venice Bypass "Peer Review," requested from the MPO board back in April of this year. His presentation had all of the graphs, studies, diagrams, pictures and charts to cover all of the options. In it was all of the traffic data needed to do all of the math, including that of alternatives -- almost too much to comprehend in one session.
There were three segments (North, Middle and South) of the corridor, and three options to how they would be developed.
A. Building six lanes on all three segments with traditional signalized or roundabout intersections.
B. Leaving four lanes on all three segments with traditional signalized or roundabout intersections with other modal improvements.
C. Building six lanes on northern two segments, but four lanes on south segment with other modal improvements.
