“We are pushing ahead with a great road

program, a road program that will take this

Nation out of its antiquated shackles of

secondary roads… It will be a nation of great

a nation that is going ahead every day. With…

our population increasing at five every minute,

the expanding horizon is one that staggers

the imagination.”

• 4-lane major arterial, recently widened to 6 lanes

• Future travel demand far exceeds future capacity

• Limited alternative parallel network

• Roadway being used for BOTH local and regional trips

• Designated a multi-modal corridor in TRANSPORTATION 2035

• Multi-modal solutions viable only with land use strategies

the challenge

1974

The Turnpike - now completed - provides a new and faster connection to N & S Florida

Small subdivisions become a more common as a development type

Commercial Development starts along SR 50 near US 27

Residential development continues S & E of downtown

1999

Citrus Tower Blvd becomes a major connection to SR-50

Rapid residential development occurs

2010

Few sections of local network added

Most of undeveloped land is located along the south side of SR 50 and

East of US 27

Development of large commercial parcels becomes common

Some development on previously approved master planned communities

continues
