The Cleveland Connector would relieve extreme traffic congestion in northern Clay County and Westside Jacksonville, one of the state's most congested areas. SR 21, a critical road for both Clay County and Jacksonville, carries over 80,000 car trips per day, mostly commuter traffic. The traffic, mostly consisting of commuters, exceeds this road's capacity by more than a full third. The Cleveland Connector would direct vehicles from SR 21 to Branan Field Road, the County's new route to Jacksonville. State statutes direct FDOT to fund counties on an equitable basis. However, due to a number of factors, including requirements that direct funding to the FIHS system (Clay County has few FIHS designated raods), Clay County's programmed funds during the 1995-2005 time period are $84 million dollars LESS than its statuatory FDOT road funding amount. Funding a Planning, Design and Engineering (PD&E) study for this critical road would begin to rectify an imbalance prohibited by legislative intent, which is a worthy state objective. |

Measurable Outcome Anticipated: |
|
|
|
|
|
||||
|
Funding this PD&E study would lay the groundwork for removing 10,000 daily vehicle trips from the over-congested SR21. This funding would make up approximately 1% of the 1995-2005 FDOT funding deficit of $84 million. |
