​Project Overview​

D Squared Infrastructure provided transportation engineering and access review services for the redevelopment of Coastal Way Plaza near the intersection of SR 50 (Cortez Road) and Mariner Boulevard in Hernando County. The redevelopment included an approximately 16,600-square-foot expansion of the existing shopping center.

​

D2i supported the development team in evaluating site access considerations and developing a strategy for a proposed driveway connection to SR 50. The effort incorporated existing traffic information, site development plans, roadway improvements, and agency coordination to identify practical access alternatives for consideration by the project team.

​

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.
