Action
Notice of intent to prepare an alternatives analysis and draft environmental impact statement (AA/DEIS).
Summary
The Federal Transit Administration (FTA) as lead agency, the Florida Department of Transportation (FDOT) and the Jacksonville Transportation Authority (JTA) intend to conduct an Alternatives Analysis and prepare a Draft Environmental Impact Statement (AA/DEIS) on a proposal by the JTA to study the implementation of transportation improvements within a corridor known as the Jacksonville East/Southwest Corridor. The East/Southwest Corridor is an approximate 35-mile radial corridor connecting the Town of Orange Park in northern Clay County to the Jacksonville beach communities, through downtown Jacksonville. The analysis is necessary to identify mobility options that address the high level of travel demand and traffic congestion within the East/ Southwest Corridor. Scoping will be accomplished through correspondence with interested persons, organizations, and Federal, State and local agencies, and three public scoping meetings.
