SR 385/US 441 BUS @ SR 17/SR 197

long range program

The proposed improvement would modify and combine the existing signalized intersection on SR 17 and SR 385 Business and the four way stop intersection on SR 17 and SR 197 into one 4 leg signalized intersection with necessary turn lanes and pedestrian facilities. The need for the project is to eliminate the existing signalized intersection of SR 385 Business & SR 17 in entirety and relocate the signalization to the reconfigured four way stop intersection of SR 17 & SR 197. In the current configuration there is a distance of only 275 feet between the two intersections. By relocating the signal and eliminating the second intersection it will add to the overall operation and safety of three intersecting SR corridors at this location. This project is listed in the Final Report of a Multimodal Transportation Study completed by our Office of Planning in July 2003.
