ALTERNATIVES
To develop an improved roadway facility for Midway Road that is in the best overall public interest, the following factors were taken into consideration:
Engineering: The design and alignment of the improved facility.
Environmental : Social, cultural, natural, and physical factors.
Public Involvement: Needs and concerns of the affected local community.
Economic Factors: Project cost and opportunities to optimize expenses such as construction staging and traffic control.
The design of the improved facility will safely and efficiently accommodate the projected design year vehicular traffic as well as other modes of transportation. All of the factors developed and utilized for this study will have a direct bearing on the selection of preferred alternative.

Three and five lane section in White City. They include sidewalks or meandering pathways and 5-foot wide bike lanes along both the north and south sides of Midway Road from South 25th Street to SR-5/US-1. Alternative 2 is similar to Alternative 1, except that a continuous center left-turn lane on Midway Road is proposed instead of a median from west of Sunrise Boulevard to east of Sunrise Boulevard.

ALTERNATIVE 3 Click here to view Alternative 3

Four Lane Divided. Midway Road is proposed to be widened from two lanes undivided to four lanes divided from west of South 25th Street to east of US-1, which includes the addition of turn lanes at South 25th Street, Sunrise Boulevard, and Oleander Avenue. As in other alternatives, the intersection of Midway Road and Sunrise Boulevard is proposed to have signal control.

ALTERNATIVE 4 Click here to view Alternative 4 Alternative 4 has been removed from consideration, but remains available for viewing.

Four Lane Divided with Roundabout at Oleander Avenue includes sidewalks or meandering pathways and a 5-foot wide bike lane along both the north and south sides of Midway Road from South 25th Street to SR-5/US-1.
