MPO adopts 2026 project priorities list for FDOT work program cycle

Charlotte County Punta Gorda Metropolitan Planning Organization · May 18, 2026

Summary

The MPO adopted its list of project priorities for FDOT's draft work program cycle (FY2028–2032), highlighting intersection and sidewalk projects; staff noted prioritized projects and estimated costs for select items such as a $1.95 million signal at Burnstow Road.

MPO staff presented the final draft of project priorities the board will forward to FDOT for consideration in the FY2028–2032 draft work program. The list includes eight county projects (mostly intersection improvements) and several city projects; staff noted that highlighted projects are either in the pipeline or partially funded.

Staff singled out several projects and cost estimates: e.g., the signal at Burnstow Road (listed with a total cost of $1,950,000) and a Cooper Street complete‑street construction project (noted at approximately $3,000,000). The joint board also included regional priorities from partner MPOs and TPOs and confirmed Harborview Road and Kings Highway among top regional items. The motion to adopt the final draft priorities passed unanimously and staff will forward the priorities to FDOT for the upcoming draft work program cycle.
