The Florida Department of Transportation (FDOT) is requesting two amendments to the FY2022/23 – 2026/27 TIP, which will add funding for two projects, described below:
• 451433-1 Polk Street Rail Crossing Technology
• 412531-2 Westshore Interchange Reconstruction
The additional funding for the rail crossing technology will be used to purchase “Radio Key Down Equipment” which will allow CSX operators to activate signals at rail crossings along Polk Street. By updating the obsolete equipment, this project is anticipated to improve the TPO’s Smart Cities performance metrics.
Approving the second amendment to the Westshore Interchange reconstruction would add approximately $71 million of funds, with no new acquisition of right-of-way, to accommodate increasing property value near the interchange.
