  • Noise Study Report Addendum
    Noise Study Report Addendum Project Development and Environment (PD&E) Study I‐275/SR 93 From South of 54th Avenue South to North of 4th Street North PROJECT DEVELOPMENT & ENVIRONMENT (PD&E) STUDY Pinellas County, Florida July 2016 Work Program Item Segment No: 424501-1 Executive Summary The Florida Department of Transportation (FDOT), District Seven, has conducted a detailed traffic noise analysis for the noise sensitive land uses adjacent to State Road (SR) 93 (Interstate 275 (I-275)) between Gandy Boulevard and 4th Street North in Pinellas County. The improvements to this segment of I-275, along with improvements to other roadways in the area, are collectively referred to as the Gateway Expressway Project. Notably, the noise analysis presented in this Noise Study Report (NSR) only addresses traffic noise with the Gateway Expressway improvements to I-275. The traffic noise analysis was performed following procedures in FDOT’s Project Development and Environment (PD&E) Manual, Part 2, Chapter 17 (May 2011) and in accordance with Title 23, Part 772 of the Code of Federal Regulations (23 CFR 772)—Procedures for Abatement of Highway Traffic Noise and Construction Noise (July 2010). The approaches and examples in the FDOT’s Traffic Noise Modeling and Analysis Practitioners Handbook (January 2016) were also incorporated where applicable. There are three Noise Study Areas (NSAs) within the project limits in which traffic noise impacts are predicted to occur with the Gateway Expressway improvements to I-275. The land use within all three NSAs is residential. The results of the detailed analysis and an engineering review indicate that noise barriers would be both a feasible and reasonable traffic noise abatement method for the impacted properties in the three NSAs.

  • Type II Categorical Exclusion Determination 9.90 MB
    State of Florida Department of Transportation TYPE 2 CATEGORICAL EXCLUSION DETERMINATION FORM 1. GENERAL INFORMATION County: Pinellas Project Name: I-275 (SR 93) Project Development and Environment Study Project Limits: South of 54th Avenue South to north of 4th Street North Project Numbers: 12556 424501-1 Not Available ETDM No. WPISeg. No. Federal-Aid No. 2. PROJECT PURPOSE AND NEED a. Purpose and Need The purpose of this project is to provide for operational and safety improvements that maximize capacity within the I-275 corridor, improve lane continuity and connect I-275 within Pinellas County to the future network of express lanes planned for the Tampa Bay Region. Improvements are needed within the I-275 corridor to help alleviate existing traffic congestion, enhance safety and better accommodate future travel demands associated with projected growth in employment and population. The addition of special use/express lanes is included in the FDOT’s Approved SIS Highway Component 2040 Cost Feasible Plan. In 2012, Annual Average Daily Traffic (AADT) volumes on I-275 ranged from a low of 82,000 vehicles per day north of 54th Avenue South to a high of 142,500 vehicles per day north of 4th Street North. Under these existing traffic loadings, several sections along the I-275 mainline operate deficiently (Level of Service – LOS E) during both the morning and afternoon peak travel periods and does not meet the minimum LOS standard D for SIS highway facilities. Without improvements, the operating conditions along I-275 will continue to deteriorate, resulting in unacceptable levels of service throughout the entire study corridor.
