Subject:	FDOT is conducting the CMNAA Study in partnership with the Sarasota/Manatee Metropolitan Planning Organization, Manatee County, Cities of Palmetto and Bradenton, FDOT Central Office (OEM), and local entities. The goal of the study is to identify and program a series of transportation projects that improve both local and regional mobility for all users while supporting the multi-modal vision for the communities of Bradenton and Palmetto. The recommendations of this study will seek to provide residents safer and improved access to jobs, schools, shopping, and social services, and improved regional mobility for all users. The CMNAA Study will produce an implementation plan for an integrated system of recommendations that identifies funding requirements, agency responsibilities, and associated timelines. This will include strategies to program a series of short-term (5-10 year), mid-term (10-15 year), and long-term (15+ year) projects, as well as to identify near-term (0-5 year) opportunities that can be funded and advanced quickly. The study will evaluate options for a possible third bridge, changes in travel patterns in downtown Bradenton to reduce travel times, new sidewalks and bicycle facilities, safety improvements to several roadways and changes to MCAT to improve service. The project is in Phase 2, preliminary alternatives have been developed and the project team is beginning to screen concepts and eliminate non-viable alternatives. FDOT is seeking public input on the various alternatives. Please note that two or more elected officials may me present at the meeting.
