63RD STREET FLYOVER
Date: May 22, 2002
In response to Commissioner Steinberg's request for a commission discussion of the
maintenance of traffic (MOT) plan related to the scheduled construction of the 63rd Street
Flyover, please be informed that the Florida Department of Transportation (FDOT) has this
project scheduled for construction in FY 2004/2005.
At this time the design plans by FDOT are only 30 % completed, a private engineering
consultant firm (Madin Engineering) will complete the final design of the plans, inclusive
of a revised MOT. The FDOT 30% plan contains a primary MOT plan, which is conceptual
in nature.
There will be further refinements and changes to the MOT plans as the design of the
overall project progresses. The Administration is currently working with FDOT and its
design consultant to resolve and minimize the anticipated impacts to the community and
motoring public during the project's construction period.
Many of the proposed changes to the project's design will effect its construction schedule
and MOT plan. The Administration and FDOT will be in a better position to assess and
answer questions related to the MOT of this project in September 2002.
If you have any questions regarding this matter, please contact me.
