​Project Overview​

The Coastal Way Plaza Redevelopment involved the expansion and redevelopment of an existing shopping center along SR 50 (Cortez Road) in Brooksville, Florida. The redevelopment included approximately 16,600 square feet of additional commercial space and required evaluation of site access and driveway connections to the state roadway. The project included coordination with FDOT District Seven to address access requirements and support the permitting process.

​

Key Services​​

D2i reviewed the project’s existing transportation and development documentation, including previously completed traffic analyses, FDOT District 7 correspondence, site development plans, traffic counts, and roadway improvement plans. The team also considered available crash data, nearby FDOT studies, planned infrastructure improvements, and other relevant information to establish the transportation context surrounding the redevelopment and develop recommendations for the site access strategy.

​

Based on this evaluation, D2i developed recommendations to support the project team’s coordination with FDOT District 7 and Hernando County regarding the proposed access connection. Conceptual plans were also developed to illustrate recommended alternatives and communicate potential solutions to the reviewing agencies. D2i provided technical coordination, meeting preparation, and participation in project discussions throughout the access review process.
