As part of the project from Woodville Highway to Crawfordville Road, Blueprint has been working in conjunction with Leon County and City Growth Management to either acquire or exchange for a 100-acre parcel of land currently owned by the United States Forest Service (USFS). The tract of land, known as the Flea Market Tract, is considered an out parcel, an area that is difficult to manage environmentally. The Flea Market Tract is very desirable as it could be used for future development, and it eliminates the need to acquire right-of-way from the numerous businesses located on the north side of Capital Circle. It also allows for the linkage of a southern greenway connecting to the St. Marks Trail. The proposed trail system in the Greenways and Trail Master Plan shows connectivity through the project area. The decision to align the roadway improvement project to the south via a federal lands easement and minimize community impacts to the north was carefully evaluated, consistent with the National Environmental Policy Act (NEPA), and is believed to be in the best interest of all stakeholders.

An important aspect of roadway design is the incorporation of effective drainage facilities that efficiently remove and treat stormwater runoff from the roadway without adversely affecting downstream conditions. The Flea Market Tract lies within four drainage basins and will include the construction of three stormwater ponds to provide attenuation and treatment. One pond will be located near each major intersection (Crawfordville Road and Woodville Highway) and the third pond is located on USFS lands immediately north of the current electric utility easement. No significant wetlands, water bodies, or watercourses exist within the project area.

This portion of the roadway will also be designed consistent with other sections of Capital Circle, already completed by Blueprint 2000. Landscaping, including wildflowers, bark chips and hammocks of trees and shrubs will be put in place to increase the aesthetics and safety of the roadway, as along Capital Circle SE, Tram Rd. to Connie Dr. Sidewalks, a 10-foot meandering trail and bicycle lanes will be put in place to increase the level of pedestrian-bicycle access and create a multi-modal roadway. The improvements to Capital Circle will also accommodate future transit service with the incorporation of more right-of-way which allows for a wider 36-foot median.
