	Comments, Questions, and Answers (generally categorized by topic, not listed in order asked) 
SCHEDULE
Q: How long until design?
A: Ms. Delgado responded that design will occur following the Interchange Modification Report and selection of a preferred alternative and is expected to begin in the Fall of 2018.

Q: If “ all of the stars align”, when will we see “ bulldozers” [ to build the I - 95 at LPGA Blvd improvements]?
A: Ms. Delgado responded that FDOT is analyzing an opening year of 2025, but the date is based on several assumptions, potential funding, and therefore is subject to change.

FUNDING
Q: Where does the set- aside funding come from and what is the funding for the study [ what  does the study consultant get paid], design, and construction? 
A: Ms. Delgado noted that the funding for planning and design is from FDOT. The funding for the current study is $1 million. The amount for design has not been determined at this time. There is no identified funding source for construction.
Mr. Learned added that currently, the project is not on the [River to Sea] Transportation Planning Organization (TPO) list of prioritized projects, nor is it planned on the long range transportation plan (LRTP). The TPO board consists of elected officials who make decisions on priority projects. Stakeholders should contact their elected officials if they feel that the project should be considered a priority.
Q: When is the design budgeted? A: Ms. Delgado responded that the design is scheduled for next year (2019), but that the design can start before the study if a recommended alternative moves forward before the end of the year.
INTERCHANGE LANDSCAPING
Q: What are the plans for landscaping at the interchange? One individual noted that the
homeowners are against enhanced landscaping, and inidicated that the same treatment as the Ormond Interchange should be used .
A: Ms. Delgado indicated that impacts to the landscaping are to be determined, but that it is good to know if the CDD is not in favor of replacing the landscaping.
C: A member of the public commented that the CDD has borne the burden of the cost of landscaping, adding that initially, LPGA was the only community in the vicinity of the
interchange, and none of the numerous other residential communities that have subsequently been built are paying interchange landscape maintenance fees. 
C: A member of the public noted that replacing the existing landscaping at the interchange would be considered a misappropriation of funds, given that the CDD is not in favor of

continuing the maintenance.
Mr. Learned noted that there will be the opportunity for the CDD to amend its Agreement with the City of Daytona Beach, as modifications to the interchange will impact the landscaping. The CDD was asked to provide the study team with a copy of the landscaping maintenance agreement for reference.
Q: Does FDOT still have landscape enhancement grants available? A. Mr. Learned answered that FDOT does not have special interchange landscape enhancement grants, but that there may be TPO funding.
AREA DEVELOPMENT, TRAFFIC, AND MODELING
Q: What is the current construction at the interchange?
A: Mr. Learned noted that the construction on I-95 near the interchange is from the US 92 interchange construction, which extends north almost to the Dunn Avenue bridge.
Q: Are the other construction projects being considered in the model?
A: Mr. Burghdoff responded that yes, the model includes current and ongoing construction projects and forecasts 20 years out.
Q: Given that the new Mosaic and Latitude developments represent 7 , 000 - plus new homes west of Tomoka Farms Road what are the plans and outlook? Will the [ Tomoka River] bridge and LPGA Blvd. west of the project be widened?
A: Ms. Delgado responded that the project limits are from Tomoka Farms Road to Clyde Morris Boulevard. The project will evaluate how to best connect to the existing system; however, LPGA Blvd. is a County Road, not a State Road, and there are currently no plans by the County to widen the road – it is not currently in the LRTP (20 year plan). Ms. Delgado, reiterated that the Tomoka River bridge is not part of the current project.
C: Something has to be done at Tomoka Farms Road [ and LPGA Blvd.].
A: Mr. Burghdoff responded that the County is evaluating a traffic signal at that location for design in the short term.
Q: Why were homes allowed to be built without a study? 
A: Ms. Winsett, Volusia County Traffic, noted that the County has been evaluating and forecasting traffic. They will use FDOT’s model data, as it has been updated for this project. The growth in this area spurned by the economy’s rebound was much quicker than expected. Impact fees are being assessed, sometimes the developer pays a direct cost; while in other cases, the developer will build improvements in-kind.
Mr. Burghdoff added that the [traffic forecasting] model does take into consideration regional influences such as new developments.
Q: Does the model include traffic from area large- scale events like the Daytona 500 ?
A: Mr. Burghdoff answered that the model is forecasting 25 years into the future, and that short-term traffic events aren’t included; however, as previously noted, the County plans to use the updated model as a baseline and can then add anticipated traffic from these events to determine localized solutions to the traffic issues.
C: The CDD is in the City limits, the road [ LPGA Blvd.] is  a  County Road.  It  seems unrealistic to allow that much development in the area. There is more and more traffic.
A: Mr. Burghdoff responded that the additional traffic associated with the new developments are being added to the model so that the interchange layout that best accommodates the traffic can be recommended.

Q: Are there still plans to extend Dunn Avenue to LPGA Boulevard?
Ms. Colleen Nicoulin, with the River to Sea TPO, provided an update on Dunn Avenue – The Dunn Avenue extension is a conceptual corridor on the map. It is a proposed project based on developer plans; however, it has not been developed and is not currently funded.
TOMOKA RIVER BRIDGE
C: The [ Tomoka River] bridge is too narrow. There needs to be bike lanes on the bridge. Why doesn’t this project include the bridge? 
A: Ms. Delgado responded that, currently the project does not include the bridge. The FDOT’s responsibility is to identify the most effective interchange options for moving traffic through the interchange and on I-95. LPGA Blvd. is a County Road. Ms. Delgado added that the Tomoka River is an Outstanding Florida Water, and if a bridge widening or any impacts to this environmental resource were considered, it would require extensive environmental study in addition to the current study, which could take years.
Q: Is there a 50 - foot buffer for the river? There is currently a construction trailer near the river (on the LPGA side) and it appears to be closer than 50 feet from the river.
A: Ms. Delgado responded that the CDD and/or residents could inquire with the contractor in this case.
