This document is a Railroad Certification memo from Collier County's Transportation Management Services Department in Florida, addressed to a Florida Department of Transportation (FDOT) Local Agency Project Manager. The document describes a roadway improvement project for the 16th Street NE Bridge (FM #: 451283-1-58-01), which involves constructing a new bridge and widening the existing roadway. The project specifications include adding 11-foot travel lanes with 6-foot shoulders (4-foot paved plus 2-foot unpaved) along the entire project length, and constructing a 6-foot sidewalk on the west side of the roadway. The proposed bridge will be 50 feet, 5.0 inches wide and 147 feet 0.5 inches long, with two 12-foot travel lanes, a 6-foot shoulder, and a 6-foot sidewalk on the west side, and a 12-foot shoulder on the east side.

The memo explicitly states that the project does not have any railroad involvement within its limits and can be considered "railroad CLEAR". The improvements will include minor drainage modifications to existing roadside swales and the installation of new concrete driveways up to the existing right-of-way. The document is dated April 9, 2024, and is signed by Dennis F. McCoy, Project Manager III, indicating the project is in the planning and certification stages of development.
