Project Location
• Project Purpose
– Traffic reliever to I-95
– Integrate road with the
Northwest Sector Plan
– Connect Racetrack
Road to CR 208
• Study Objective
– Determine the location
of the roadway
– Provide Right-of-Way
Maps
Project History
• 1995 - St. Johns County and Florida
Department of Transportation “Variance
Agreement”
• 2001 - St. Johns County adopts a preferred
location for the north/south roadway (CR
2209) as part of the “Sector Plan”
• 2002 - St. Johns County adopts a
“Northwest Sector Plan“ that includes the
CR 2209 Corridor
• 2003 - CR 2209 Preliminary Engineering
Study begins
• The “Variance Agreement” with the FDOT
requires the CR 2209 project to meet the
following deadlines:
– North Segment
Right of way maps by December 2005
Construction to start by December
2009
– Central Segment
Right of way maps by December 2006
Construction to start by December
2010
– South Segment
Right of way maps by December 2007
Corridor Study Recommendations
• Segment 1: LINK N2
– Provides direct connection to
Racetrack Road
– Supports a future connection to SR 9B
– Avoids Durbin Creek crossing
– Shortest segment length (3.1 miles)
– Significantly fewer wetlands (22.5
acres)
– Least construction cost ($8.0M)
• Segment 2: LINK C2
– Borders wetland providing additional
buffer and protection
– Forces development and access to
one side (west) of the proposed
roadway
– Creates additional access to
International Golf Parkway
– Shortest segment length (8.0 miles)
– Least construction cost ($20.4M)
• Segment 3: LINK S1
– Least wetland impact between S1 & S3
– No Six Mile Creek Crossing required
as compared to S3
– Least construction cost ($7.8M)
2001 Corridor Study
