LAKELAND INTERMODAL
CENTER
FEASIBILITY STUDY

City Commission Workshop
December 13, 2019
Financial Project ID (FPID) No.: 442569-1
Source: City of Lakeland official website (www.lakelandgov.net)

 Study Purpose
The purpose of this study is to identify and
evaluate potential sites for a new transportation
“hub” in Lakeland. This “hub” would facilitate
connectivity between all modes of travel and
access including: local bus, intercity bus,
intercity rail, bicycles, pedestrians, carpooling,
ridesharing, taxis and transportation network
companies (Uber, Lyft), vehicle sharing, and
bicycle sharing among others.

The Lakeland Intermodal Center would serve as
a “mobility center” for the region.

 What is an Intermodal Center?


Multiple modes of
travel:
o

Local Buses

o

Inter-City Buses

o

Inter-City Rail

o

Bicycles

o

Pedestrians

o

Automobiles

o

Ride-Sharing Services



Community centralized



Enhanced connectivity



Designed for the future



Ability to grow



Economic development

 Intermodal
Center Examples

   

Current Lakeland Downtown
Bus Terminal


Approximately 1 acre with
16 bus bays



No consolidated location
Only one travel mode
Safety concerns
Amtrak facility is separate
structure
Future growth prohibited
The City of Lakeland is
committed to future
growth and advancement
of the Downtown Area.

Tier 1 Screening Evaluation Measures

 

Criteria

Evaluation Measure 1:
Connectivity w/ other modes

Description

Ease of providing maximized connections with local, regional, and intercity
transit services

 

Evaluation Measure 2:
Regional accessibility (vehic.)

Access to/from potential site and regional roadway and highway network,
including potential for on-site parking

 

Evaluation Measure 3:
Local accessibility (bike/ped)

Access to/from potential site and local destinations via walking, bicycling, 
other short-distance travel methods

 

Evaluation Measure 4:
Ability to create sense of place

Opportunity to develop a design that complements City aesthetic and
encourages people gathering

 

Evaluation Measure 5:
Site design constraints

Size, con?guration, and or regulations of potential site that limit design options

 

Evaluation Measure 6:
Transit?supportive land uses

Intensity of existing transit-supportive uses within proximate distance of potential
site

 

Evaluation Measure 7:
Economic Development Potential

Opportunity to maximize return-on?investment through additional nearby
private development

 

Evaluation Measure 8:
Safety Security

Visibility of potential site and extent of design considerations needed to ensure
secure operations

 

Evaluation Measure 9:
ROW acquisition relocations

Potential need to acquire right-of?way for station development and/or relocate
existing uses

 

Evaluation Measure 10:
Potential Construction Costs

 

Prospective site costs, including need for structured parking, station
components, and vertical elements
