It is an essential part of the planning framework to avoid conceiving of the corridor study area as a zone of uniform dimension on either side of the right-of-way. The roadway must be thought of as an integral part of a larger suburban fabric that includes natural and man-made systems that may extend for some distance into the larger suburban context. In some places, the planning framework diagram may be a relatively uniform and narrow strip, but in other places it may include a connection to some destination, development or resource that is quite remote from the corridor.

For example, the way in which the State Road 7/ US 441 functions as a roadway can only be understood by drawing it in relation to the two major parallel highways in the Florida Turnpike and I-95 as well as in relation to the hierarchy of the numerous intersecting neighborhood roads that helps define the boundaries between existing neighborhoods. Another example of the larger planning framework is the system of canals and retention basins that is ubiquitous in this region. The design of the road and the developments along it will have a profound impact on storm water run-off and levels of non point-source pollution. To the extent that canals and water resources can be linked to create a greenway network, this will impact how Route 7 functions for pedestrian mobility.

Re-conceive the entire State Road 7/US 441 corridor as a neighborhood and community-friendly place with a design speed of between 30 and 35 miles per hour capable of supporting multiple modes of mobility.
Create in selected locations concentrations of mixed-use activity with distinct neighborhood identity.
Re-integrate the larger man-made and natural systems, and in particular, the underlying green infrastructure of canals, retention/recharge basins and aquifer.
Create a differentiated experience in which sections of the road has discrete identities and are part of a larger suburban landscape of differentiated neighborhoods and place-based experiences.
Create locations along the corridor for approximately 25,000 new units of new housing.
Celebrate and optimize the entrepreneurial potential of dynamic and growing new-immigrant population.
