LIVINGSTON FPL TRAIL EXTENSION From Radio Road to the Collier County Line Project Development & Environment Study

The FDOT initiated the PD&E study in October 2024 to assess the feasibility of a new 12-foot-wide separated shared-use path in Collier County. This path is planned to extend from Radio Road to the Collier County line and is proposed as a component of the Shared-Use Nonmotorized (SUN) Trail Priority Network. This initiative aims to bridge a significant gap between the existing Rich King Memorial Greenway and Lee County's forthcoming SUN Trail network to the north.

Within the project limits, the Livingston FPL Trail Extension, or any shared-use path, currently does not exist. The FPL utility easement varies in width from 110 feet to 405 feet within the study corridor. Livingston Road / County Road (CR) 881 is owned and maintained by Collier County. The existing six (6) lane divided principal arterial has a minimum right of way (ROW) width of 100 feet near Radio Road (CR 586) and a maximum width of 325 feet at the north end of the corridor. Some parts of Livingston Rd/CR 881 are located on easements, and not county-owned right-of-way.

Alternative 1 proposes constructing a new 12-ft wide shared use path with a 4.5-foot separation from the roadway, from the back of curb, and a 4-ft buffer area behind the path. The alignment for Build Alternative 1 is parallel to the west side of Livingston Road for the entire 11.5 miles of study corridor. Right of way needs for Alternative 1 vary along the corridor due to existing right-of-way widths and/or existing easement widths.

Alternative 2 proposes a 12-ft wide shared use path with minimum 4 ft buffers on both sides within the FPL utility easement along the 11.5 miles of the study corridor. The alignment for Build Alternative 2 follows the existing gravel maintenance road within the FPL utility easement. Right of way needs for this alternative vary along the corridor and will be refined in the design phase.
