Project Overview
The Florida Department of Transportation is studying the implementation of Premium Transit along SR 968/Flagler Street. The study covers SR 968/Flagler Street from approximately SR 821/HEFT to the Downtown Multimodal Terminal (at Government Center, NW 1st Avenue) and also includes a segment of SR 90/SW 8th Street from SW 147th Avenue to SW 107th Avenue, SW 107th Avenue from SR 9/SW 8th Street to NW 12th Street, and NW 12th Street from approximately NW 122nd Avenue to NW 107th Avenue. Refer to the project map below.
Purpose & Need
This study will focus on providing multimodal street improvements to accommodate premium transit service along the arterials within the project limits. Premium transit modes such as Bus Rapid Transit (BRT) will be evaluated on exclusive transit lanes or reversible transit lanes.
