PRESENTER
Ryan Kordek, TPO Staff
William Roll, Project Consultant
SUMMARY
The Northeast Polk County Subarea Study being prepared by the TPO is an important component of the TPO’s Envision 2050 - Long Range Transportation Plan Update for Polk County. TPO staff felt this morning’s update on the project was both important and timely considering the Board’s discussion on several regional transportation projects which have been discussed at recent meetings, e.g., the Central Polk Parkway, SunRail Extension PD&E Study, and Moving I-4 Forward.
TPO Staff and the project consultant will lead what is planned as comprehensive discussion on the various transportation projects being considered in the northeast portion of the county. This discussion will focus on the various funded projects currently being implemented by either FDOT, Florida’s Turnpike or the County, as well as the projects needed to support the future growth of the area which is planned to consist of nearly 250,000 new residents by 2050.
