Proposed Alternatives

Alternative A: Roundabout with At-Grade Crosswalks

  • Most economical alternative
  • Pedestrian crossings will impact the flow of traffic
  • Higher potential for pedestrian-vehicle conflicts
  • Shortest construction time

Alternative B: Roundabout with Elevated Walkway

  • Increased cost over pedestrian at-grade crossings
  • Provides protected crossing for pedestrians
  • Increases capacity for vehicles
  • Pedestrians will have to use ramp, stairs, or elevator to cross
  • Longer construction timeline
  • Can lead to jaywalking, discouraged with fencing and landscaping

Alternative C: Roundabout with Pedestrian Underpass

  • Most expensive option
  • Provides protected crossing for pedestrians
  • Direct route for pedestrians
  • No need for stairs or elevators
  • Will cause slight rise in the road (4–6 feet)
  • Longest construction time

Parking**

  • Surface parking at the SRIA property near Pensacola Beach Fire Station
  • Surface parking at the SRIA property near Sheriff’s Sub-Station
  • Surface parking at the old visitor’s information center property
  • Surface parking or parking garage at the current SRIA location

** Determination to be based on available funding and need.

Transit

  • Adjust hours of operation to better match observed ridership and demand
  • Adjust months of operation to better match peak visitor season
  • Modify schedule and/or route alignment to accommodate new ferry
  • Split current route to improve route performance
  • Extend trolley service off island

Alternative A: Roundabout with At-Grade Crosswalks

Simulation of Conditions for Roundabout with Pedestrians
