Progress Boulevard Widening – Magnolia Park Boulevard to Valleydale Drive

KCA was selected by Hillsborough County to evaluate improvements along Progress Boulevard. This National Environmental Policy Act (NEPA) PD&E Study assessed widening the existing two-lane undivided roadway from Magnolia Park Boulevard to Valleydale Drive to provide a four-lane divided roadway with enhanced pedestrian and bicycle facilities. The project required widening an existing overpass or constructing a new overpass across the I-75 limited access corridor. KCA’s concepts applied a Complete Streets approach that developed a context and environmentally sensitive design. The project was overseen by FDOT District Seven. KCA coordinated with FDOT District Seven DEMO staff to receive LDCA on the Type I Categorical Exclusion (CE) NEPA document. The KCA team ensured our conceptual designs met the County’s Vision Statement (enhanced roadway corridors with improved safety, mobility, and congestion relief through a context and environmentally sensitive design, which is supported by community and key project stakeholders).
