Central Manatee Network Alternatives Analysis
The Florida Department of Transportation has partnered with the Federal Highway Administration, Manatee County, the Cities of Palmetto and Bradenton, and the Sarasota/Manatee Metropolitan Planning Organization (MPO) to conduct a transportation analysis called the Central Manatee Network Alternatives Analysis (CMNAA).
