ITEM BACKGROUND: Historically, the Florida Department of Transportation(FDOT) District 6 opens an application cycle for Transportation Alternatives (TA) funding when federal funds are available to local governments to fund improvements that create transportation alternatives for the non-motorized user. The TA is federal funding for programs and projects defined as transportation alternatives, which includes planning, design or construction of on and off-road pedestrian and bicycle facilities, infrastructure projects for improving non-driver access to public transportation and enhanced mobility, and similar projects. The process for obtaining TA funding is competitive in nature. Proposed projects are evaluated and ranked based on a specific set of criteria developed by FDOT. Part of the criteria includes local prioritization. Monroe County is an area outside of a Metropolitan Planning Organization (MPO); therefore, the County is responsible for establishing priorities for projects within the Florida Keys. Therefore, all applications submitted by jurisdictions within Monroe County must be evaluated and ranked by the Monroe County Board of County Commissioners. A committee consisting of representatives from Monroe County and Key West reviewed the applications submitted for consideration and ranked the applications based on criteria found within the FDOT application guidelines. This year, FDOT invited the local jurisdictions to submit applications for projects that can be developed for Fiscal Year 2032. Two applications were submitted for local prioritization. A summary of the projects follows: 2026 TA Applications 1. Monroe County—Monroe County Bicycle and Pedestrian Master Plan 2026 TA Request: $385,000 Jurisdiction Match: $0 Total Project Cost: $ 385,000 Application Proposal: US 1 is the primary transportation corridor through the Florida Keys, linking neighborhoods, businesses, and destinations across the region. Its central role makes it vital for expanding safe, accessible alternatives to motor vehicle travel. Running parallel US 1, the Florida Keys Overseas Heritage Trail serves as the main multi-use path for pedestrians and bicyclists, supporting recreation, commuting, and essential trips. However, gaps in the trail, deteriorated segments, and crossings at US 1 create significant safety and connectivity challenges. Monroe County currently ranks 4th out of 18 comparable Florida counties in serious pedestrian and bicyclist injuries and fatalities, with crash data showing an upward trend over the past five years. The Monroe County Bicycle and Pedestrian Master Plan will assess existing conditions, identify system gaps, and recommend improvements that enhance safety and access from MM 4 (Roosevelt Blvd.) in Key West to MM 106.4 (Garden Cove Dr.) in Key Largo. The plan will also incorporate robust public engagement to reflect community priorities and align with existing local and regional plans. Ultimately, the Master Plan will provide a framework for reducing injuries and fatalities and expanding safe, reliable, and convenient non-motorized transportation throughout the Keys. See attached Scope of Work. 2. City of Key West— Crosstown Connector Improvements 2025 TA Request: $237,000 Jurisdiction Match: $63,000 Total Project Cost: $300,000 Application Proposal: Crosstown Connector Improvements East of 14th St will improve connectivity for pedestrian and bicycle users, linking commuters who reside on the east side of Key West and Stock Island with businesses on the west side of the city. The connection to the east would link to the Florida Keys Overseas Heritage Trail (FKOHT). With the current configuration, non-motorized users contend with an unsignalized crossing at South Roosevelt Blvd. The connection to the west would link with programmed improvements at the Wickers Complex and continue to the Crosstown Greenway, a neighborhood route currently monitored as part of the Statewide Non-Motorized Traffic Monitoring Program. Existing ridership along the Crosstown Greenway is 990 ADT, while counts along the FKOHT show 1,455 ADT. Approximately 2.6 miles of the existing FKOHT along North Roosevelt Blvd in Key West consists of a wide sidewalk currently identified as part of the High Injury Network within the ongoing City of Key West Safety Action Plan. These Crosstown Connector improvements would provide a safer, more comfortable alternative to the North Roosevelt Blvd route. Committee Rankings The applications were assessed by each member of the committee based on the six FDOT criteria provided below: 1. Project safety improvements for bicycles riders and/or pedestrians; 2. Intermodal transportation linkages improvements, including those that provide access to transit stations and/or facilities; 3. Mobility enhancement or community development for disadvantaged groups (i.e., children, the elderly, the poor, those with limited transportation options, and the disabled); 4. Local funding contribution or the completion of previous phases of project development; 5. Neighborhood or community quality of life improvements, improving environmental air, noise, water quality, and/or reducing the need for single occupancy vehicle trips; 6. Community support, including minutes of public meetings, newspaper clippings, petitions, letters of support from local business owners, property owners, nonprofit organizations, political leaders and other groups; Prioritization: Monroe County will prioritize projects and award points based on prioritization. A maximum of 25 points will be assigned. The top ranked project from each county agency receives 25 points, the second ranked receives 24 points, the third ranked receives 23 points, etc. The scoring committee rankings are depicted in the table below: Monroe County Bicycle and City of Key West Crosstown Pedestrian Master Plan Improvement Connector Average Points 66.7 69.0 Criteria 1-6 Prioritization 25 24 Points Total Points 91.7 93.0 The projects will also be presented to FDOT for review and consideration on January 22nd or January 23rd, 2026. FDOT will determine the feasibility of the projects.

I SUPPORTING INFORMATION REQUIRED UPLOAD: PROJECT 1NFORMATION SUPPORTING DOCUMENTATION Scope rfWork Purpose and Need Many workers in the City of Key West commute to the west side of the island of Key West from more affordable housing located on the eastern side and Stock Island. Approximately 1,000 non-motorist trips per day are counted.These commuters entering Key West from Stock Island must traverse an injury hot-spot at The Triangle where the Florida Keys Overseas Heritage Trail (FKOHT)forks.Those continuing along the route on the north must then traverse another injury hot spot along North Roosevelt Blvd where severe outcomes affect vulnerable road users disproportionately. Many commuters prefer to use a safer and more comfortable route, however a gap in the connectivity from the partially constructed neighborhood Crosstown connector route to the FKOHT discourages use. Desired outcome City and State funded projects have improved the condition of the Crosstown Connector over recent years, but improving the condition of the connector east of 14th St and closing the gap at the Florida Keys Overseas Heritage Trail, will provide a safe and comfortable route to ease congestion along the North Roosevelt Blvd corridor and help to reduce roadway injuries. Existing Condition Duck Ave currently has a partially marked ll' travel lane, 5' bicycle lane, and variable size parking lane.The unsignalized intersection of Duck Ave and South Roosevelt Blvd/FKOHT includes stop control for Duck Ave only.There are no curb ramps connecting Duck Ave to the FKOHT and the nearest pedestrian crossings are 900'to the north or 600' to the south. Long pedestrian wait times at the nearest crossings discourage use.

However, the distribution of severe crashes in these areas is comparable to the rest of Old Town, including more affluent blocks, suggesting that broader systemic issues such as narrow cross-sections, high pedestrian volumes, and limited separation between modes, may be influencing crash risk. 36 23 of 53 o-x&V er�geteiqr oveidnme 'I%.. opt/ 1%�,.,^%i/w'wy:.

MOMMMMOMM/M rG7 ggg "M kc Streets for People Do We Need a Traffic Light at Duck Avenue and S. Roosevelt? FDOT is busy in Key West this month starting three new projects. A 2-year $24M rebuild of S. Roosevelt between Bertha and the end of Smathers Beach. A 6-month $2.6M rebuild of Whitehead Street between Truman and Fleming. And a $1 M repaving and repainting of S. Roosevelt between Flagler and the Triangle. In each case, opportunities to put in new and safer bicycle infrastructure will be ignored in favor of existing car convenience. 26 of 53 ToLy we bring you the case of the smallest of these projects, where the City's Crosstowf. Gr1twa icyqjp faci -ty on Duck Avenue meets four lanes of fast-moving traffic on S. Roosevelt Boulevard. We ask the ques ion, could this facility use a traffic light or HAWK Light to get bicyclists across the highway and make travel safer and more convenient between Key West and Stock Island?And while we're looking at this from the perspective of people on bikes- hey, cause that's what we do - it would seem that people in cars have difficulty at this intersection and could use some help too.

The City Encourages People to Use the Crosstown Greenway The Crosstown Greenway is a designated bicycle route identified in the City's 2013 Comprehensive Plan and 2019 Bicycle and Pedestrian Master Plan stretching from Reynolds Street on one end along VonPhister to Staples and Duck and ending at S. Roosevelt where it meets 4 lanes of fast-moving traffic. Over the last few years, the City has been doing pilot projects and planning safer segments, like the Wickers Trail, because this facility is the safe and 27 of 53 quiLk alternative for bicyclists to get from one end of the island to the other instead of t ffic 0 av Roq�sevel 0 Bo7uevard or Flagler Avenue. The Crosstown Greenway provides a wonderfully quiet, safe, an0'ireyC*tpassage rig t through the heart of the City. An yet the bike lane on Duck simply dead ends at four lanes of traffic. Shouldn't there be a safe way to cross here? More People Are Using Bikes Between Key West and Stock Island Traffic volume is up over the Cheryl Cates Bridge between Stock Island and Key West and that includes people on bicycles. This is especially true as the 240 units of workforce housing at Wreckers Cay are about half occupied now and more units are on the way at the Garden View Apartments (104), Roy's Trailer Park(132) and the Key West Harbor Yacht Club (151). According to FDOT data more than 1,000 bicyclists a day use the inbound side of the bridge where the official Multi-Use Trail is that flows into the Promenade on N. Roosevelt Boulevard. While we don't have good data at the moment on the bicycle volume on the outbound side, we do know that more than 700 bicyclists a day cross the middle point of the Crosstown Greenway on the Staples Avenue Bike/Ped Bridge. I bike past this intersection about six times a week on my daily travels and can attest that lots of people on bicycles use the sidewalk on the outbound/south side of the road. It makes sense. For the many people coming around the Triangle on the outbound side, if they aren't going to stay on what becomes the Low Stress Promenade and go all the way around the island by the Airport and Smathers Beach to get downtown (an extra 1.3 miles out of the way), they'll cut across S. Roosevelt to Duck Avenue and use the Crosstown Greenway. Trying to cross 4 lanes of high- speed traffic-two lanes in each direction - is the very definition of High Stress. There's no acknowledgement in the roadway that that this is the crossing to the City's official Crosstown Greenway. For the Greenway to be useful for people coming and going to Stock Island the intersection should be treated accordingly and made safer by demarcating it as a crossing and slowing the cars down. Does that mean a HAWK light like the five we have on N. Roosevelt Boulevard that are only activated when a person requests a crossing? Or does it mean a full blown 3-way traffic light? Or perhaps something else like speed bumps or paint and signage indicating that people and bikes are crossing here? 28 of 53 ..................................... r9MEM/1 7' fF Miasma=! .............

Here's their response in fu 11: 29 of 53 "DLLdng the Design phase of this project, the Traffic Operations Office performed a review of reWst fpr a crosswalk from Duck Avenue across South Roosevelt Boulevard. This review cleterminelthat i was not warranted.11 We don't exactly know what 11not warrantedif means. Do not enough people cross here? Of course, even that might be a chicken and egg question as if there was a crossing, would more people use it? Or does FDOT think it makes sense to get on the narrow-side sidewalk and go two blocks down to Flagler, cross with that light and then come two blocks back?Which, given human nature no one would do, so... We just don't know how FDOT squares a major bicycle facility just dead ending at their road and ignoring it. This surprises us because on other projects like the rebuilding of S. Roosevelt in front of Smathers Beach it was actually FDOT that had the safer more progressive recommendations that were turned down by the City. While We're At It Let's Widen Sidewalks Around the Triangle Most of residents of Stock Island live on the south/outbound or County side. So, many never navigate the long light to get over U.S. Route 1 at Cross Street and take the bike path to N. Roosevelt. Rather they simply stay on the narrow sidewalk past the retail, over Cow Key Bridge, around the bend at the Triangle and then use the Crosstown Greenway to get into town. The problem is the sidewalk is a narrow 5 feet for much of the way and is less when you encounter poles and foliage. This makes it difficult when pedestrians are present, when bikes are coming in another direction or when faster bikes need to pass. There's plenty of room to make the sidewalk wider. Especially if the Navy gives up a few feet of unused grassland behind their big chain link fence. Time for the City, County, FDOT and Navy to talk. When we asked FDOT about this they said: "The section of sidewalk that you mention (along the south side of the road from the bridge to the triangle) is outside our project limits.11 30 of 53 aam/ aaai/ im/a/m/wo) Home Streets for People Column Key West Voices About Getting Around Key West Downtown Historic District Reports The Crosstown S arc Site Go Greenway �� The Locals Not� So Subscribe Secret Bikeway Follow Us ...........I 1111111111111�1,, �,,Ii, 01, WINN/ Al" Blog Archives Select Month Friend's Facebook Posts 31 of 53 More wayfinding signage is coming as well as a study on the crossing at Duck Wa I ki ng i n Key West Ave. and S.

The description should allow a person without prior knowledge of the project to clearly understand it. Summarize the purpose, need, project attributes, the relationship to surface transportation, how the project improves safety, and expected benefits. US 1 is the primary transportation corridor through the Florida Keys, linking neighborhoods, businesses, and destinations across the region. Its central role makes it vital for expanding safe, accessible alternatives to motor vehicle travel. Running parallel US 1, the Florida Keys Overseas Heritage Trail serves as the main multi-use path for pedestrians and bicyclists, supporting recreation, commuting, and essential trips. However, gaps in the trail, deteriorated segments, and crossings at US 1 create significant safety and connectivity challenges. Monroe County currently ranks 4th out of 18 comparable Florida counties in serious pedestrian and bicyclist injuries and fatalities, with crash data showing an upward trend over the past five years. The Monroe County Bicycle and Pedestrian Master Plan will assess existing conditions, identify system gaps, and recommend improvements that enhance safety and access from MM 4 (Roosevelt Blvd.) in Key West to MM 106.4 (Garden Cove Dr.) in Key Largo. The plan will also incorporate robust public engagement to reflect community priorities and align with existing local and regional plans. Ultimately, the Master Plan will provide a framework for reducing injuries and fatalities and expanding safe, reliable, and convenient non-motorized transportation throughout the Keys. See attached Scope of Work. REQUIRED UPLOAD: PROJECT INFORMATION SUPPORTING DOCUMENTATION including 1) Scope of Work clearly describing the purpose and need for this project and the desired outcome; detailed description of the existing conditions; and detailed description of the proposed project and major work item improvements (e.g., project limits (begin /end), width of sidewalks or trails and other components, materials, drainage, lighting, signing and pavement markings, etc.). 2) Intent to enter into a cost reimbursement agreement for delivering the project. 3) Signed PROJECT CERTIFICATION from the maintaining agency confirming the applicant is authorized to submit the proposal, the information is accurate, intent to enter into a Memorandum of Understanding or Interagency Agreement for ongoing operations and maintenance of the improved facility, and compliance with all federal and state requirements.

INTRODUCTION Monroe County is a string of islands (known as the Florida Keys) that are connected to each other and mainland by US 1. Monroe County is home to several popular tourist destinations, including beaches and parks, which generate significant pedestrian/bicycle activity. Most key destinations are located along US 1, making alternative transportation options for commuting/recreation such as biking and walking essential for residents and tourists. Considering good weather in this area, pedestrian/bicycle activity occurs throughout the year. The County has a limited number of crosswalks, forcing residents to cross multiple lanes of traffic where vehicles often travel at speeds exceeding 45-50 mph. In addition, there are numerous gaps in pedestrian/bicycle facilities (such as sidewalks and bicycle lanes)and in the Florida Keys Overseas Heritage Trail. This trail runs parallel to the US 1 corridor. Monroe County is currently ranked 4t" out of 18 Florida Counties (with population from 50,001 to 300,000 people) in serious pedestrian or bicycle injuries and fatalities. Also, the pedestrian/bicycle crash data for the latest five-year period (Source: Signal Four Analytics), indicates an increasing trend. An average of 183 pedestrian/bicycle crashes occur annually in Monroe County. Approximately 77% of these crashes result in injuries/fatalities. Thirty-two (32) pedestrian/bicycle fatalities were reported between 2019 and 2024. Pedestrian/bicycle crashes may continue to increase without a well- connected bicycle and pedestrian network providing access to schools, parks, bus stops, shopping centers, and recreation/tourist attractions. A Bicycle and Pedestrian Master Plan (Master Plan) is a critical component to enhance safety and improve access. The limits of this Master Plan will be approximately 108 miles along US 1 from Mile Marker 4.0 (Roosevelt Blvd.) in Key West to Mile Marker 106.4 (Garden Cove Dr.) in Key Largo. B. SCOPE OF WORK The scope of work for the Master Plan consists of the following key tasks: Project Management &Administration: This task involves internal coordination, management of the project schedule and budget. Public Outreach & Engagement: This task is essential for gathering community input and building consensus. The components of this task include public workshops, surveys, steering committee meetings, and working with stakeholders to develop a shared vision. Identification of Existing Conditions: This involves a comprehensive review of the current pedestrian/bicycle facilities. Data Collection &Analysis:Gather data on existing infrastructure (sidewalks, crosswalks, bicycle lanes, lighting, etc.), demographics, travel speeds, pedestrian/bicycle volumes and crash history. Network Gap Analysis: Identify missing links and barriers in the existing pedestrian/bicycle network that limit access to key destinations like schools, parks, shops, and transit. Policy Review: Review existing local policies, plans, and legislation that affect pedestrian/bicycle safety and access. 1/5 19 of 46 ................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................... Development of Goals and Objectives: Use the data and public input to formulate clear goals and objectives for the master plan. Prioritization of Infrastructure Projects: Develop a data-driven methodology for prioritizing capital improvement projects based on safety, connectivity, funding opportunities and schedule. Implementation & Funding Strategy: Develop a concrete framework for implementation, including conceptual designs for priority projects, estimated costs, and potential federal, state, and local funding sources and partners. Plan Review and Adoption: Present the final plan to the Board of County Commissioners. Activities for each of the tasks listed above are described below: Task 1 — Meeting with Stakeholders The purpose of this task is to meet with key stakeholders to get their input on pedestrian/bicycle issues.

Initial outreach efforts in a planning process are important to ensure that the public is informed about the purpose of the plan and provided with ample opportunities to contribute "blank-slate" input on where and what types of improvements are needed. This initial outreach was supplemented with another round of public outreach which allowed the public to provide input on potential project-based solutions. 4.1 Public Outreach Efforts The public and stakeholder involvement processes for the development of this US 1 Transportation Master Plan included a variety of communication and outreach means. Due to the ongoing global pandemic, the primary means of engagement with the public and stakeholders for the development of this plan included digital meetings/presentations supplemented by a widely distributed online survey and mapping application provided as part of the project website. Monroe County took extraordinary outreach efforts to ensure that the public outreach meetings are well- attended and that the project website was well-distributed with invitations for the public to directly provide input on the project's development. As a result, a large public input database was developed to categorize and analyze the input received from various sources. The following sections summarize the various outreach efforts used along with a synopsis of major themes noted from the 800 recorded input responses. Summaries of the input received through all outreach sources are provided in Appendix D. 4.1.1 Stakeholder Meeting After kicking-off the planning effort internally with Monroe County's project management team, a meeting with key stakeholders was convened in order to obtain input on: the scope of the project, the proposed public involvement platform options, the proposed public survey questions, project goals, and problem areas to be addressed along US 1 in Monroe County. This initial meeting was held via Zoom on Thursday, August 20, 2020 at 1 PM. Fifty-eight(58) attendees were invited, and 33 respondents actively participated at various points during the meeting. Participants in the meeting included representatives from Monroe County, FDOT District 6, City of Key West, City of Layton, Key Colon Beach, Village of Islamorada, Key Largo Chamber of Commerce, Ocean Reef Chamber of Commerce, Lower Keys Chamber of Commerce, Department of Environmental Protection's Office of Greenways&Trails, Miami-Dade Transit, Miami-Dade County Public Works, and AECOM. 3�9 of 46 M0" INIR GE Moni��,oe Coui�Ay B*Icycle and Pedestrian Masteill'', Plan COUNTY �F I ORIDA C.
