WHAT IS ETDM? A GIS based software program that allows
agencies the opportunity to post comments regarding the proposed transportation improvement project.

Preliminary Traffic Study
Initial Analysis indicates need for additional capacity – one additional lane in each direction
(This was determined by developing a long term Average Annual Daily Traffic forecast based on
current and planned future developments)

Purpose Start data collection early to identify issues up front to allow
input from stakeholders that will be useful during the PD&E study
• Does the bridge profile need to be studied?

Agency CoordinationAgency coordination required for transportation
projects within the Loxahatchee River Basin:
Loxahatchee River• Wild and Scenic River• Section 4(f) property
Jonathan Dickinson State Park• Section 4(f) property

FDOT Coordination for Wild and Scenic Rivers
Coordination with National Park Service (NPS):
• Coordination letter describing the proposed activities is submitted to NPS for review and comment
• NPS must respond within 30 days
• NPScomments should be incorporated into the appropriate PD&E Document

Compensation for Unavoidable Impacts
• Mitigation for impacts to wetlands and/or park land would be required for unavoidable impacts from FDOT projects
• Agencies (South Florida Water Management District, U.S. Army Corps of Engineers) prefer mitigation to be:
In kind Within the same drainage basin as the impact
• FDOT will need potential mitigation areas/projects within the basin
