COMMISSION AGENDA
ITEM 502
INFORMATIONAL X
February 27,2006
Meeting
MGR / DEPT
Authorization
REQUEST: Public Works Department Advising the City Commission of the Proposed
Intersection of Winter Park Drive and SR 434.
PURPOSE: The purpose of this Board item is to inform the City Commission of the Winter
Park Drive realignment project by the City of Casselberry
CONSIDERATIONS:
This item is in response to a resident's suggestion of the need for a traffic signal at
Belle Avenue at the last City Commission meeting. The proximity of Belle Avenue to
Sheoah Boulevard precludes a traffic signal from being constructed there. However, the
City of Casselberry is undertaking a project to connect Winter Park Drive to SR 434.
The proposed alignment will create an intersection just west of Belle Avenue at
the power easement. It is anticipated that the current traffic signal at Timberlane Trail will
be eliminated once the signal for Winter Park Drive is operational. The south end of Belle
Avenue will connect to Winter Park Drive providing that traffic the opportunity to travel
westbound on 434 at a signalized intersection which will improve safety for those trips.
The attached map depicts the current plans for relocation. Staff has requested a
copy of the plans to review and comment.
FUNDING:
The City of Casselberry is funding this project.
