 Charlotte County Burnt Store Area Plan (BSAP)

11/16/05 

The Plan calls for full mixed use, and creating wildlife corridors between    Babcock Preserve and Cecil Webb Wildlife Refuge to Charlotte Harbor. 

·        Transportation 

Plans currently call for Burnt Store Road to be widened to four lanes by 2010.  Connection on Tuckers Grade, extended to connect to Burnt Store Road by 2015. 

An alternate N/S Road connection between Zemel Road E/W to the new Tuckers Grade extension is planned for 2020. 

The Plan acknowledges that all of these dates need to be expedited.

The BSAP does not address the trucking issues raised in the MP2005, and efforts to mitigate the impact of trucking along Burnt Store Road are not addressed. There is acknowledgement additional studies are required, however this needs to be followed-up.

·        Daily Living Activity Centers

The BSAP calls for neighborhood centers in accordance with the Plan and further provides for an interconnected and integrated community incorporating pedestrian and bicycle corridors connecting each area to parks, schools and commercial areas.
