| Measurable Outcome Anticipated: |
| Mahan Drive is a major commuter route. The widening of Mahan will help meet the anticipated traffic load for the east side of Leon County for the next 20 years. This is a regional roadway serving Jefferson and Leon Counties. 41% of the number of people who live in Jefferson and are working, work in Leon and use Mahan Drive to get to work. This project will benefit regional travel and commerce. The roadway will be the gateway to the state capital from I-10, particularly from those traveling from the east. Additionally, Mahan Drive also is the main artery to and from Tallahassee for evacuations to I-10 |
