CONSTRUCTION OF SIDEWALKS ON
NORTHERN WAY, SHETLAND AVENUE AND DYSON DRIVE
April 21, 2005 7:30 PM
Winter Springs City Hall
You are invited to a public meeting held by the City of Winter Springs and Seminole County regarding
proposed sidewalk safety improvements on Northern Way, Shetland Avenue and Dyson Drive. The
meeting will be held on April 21st at 7:30 PM in the Winter Springs City Hall City Commission chambers.
Representatives from the design consultants and staffwill be available from 6:30 to 7:30 PM to individually
discuss the proposed improvements.
The proposed improvements are for five foot sidewalks along the south side of Northern Way, west side of
Shetland Avenue, and both sides of Dyson Drive. All three roads are part of the City collector road system
and it is a goal of the City to provide sidewalks on all collector roads for safe recreational pedestrian
activity as well as for school children within the two mile no bus radius.
Previous public meetings have resulted in the plans being modified by reducing the initial ten foot sidewalks
and the addressing of various drainage problems brought to the consultants attention. The proposed
improvements are being funded through the County at a cost savings to the City of approximately
$800,000. The input received from the public meeting will be provided to the Winter Springs City
Commission who will subsequently make a final decision on whether to proceed to bidding and
construction of this project
Please plan on attending so concerns you may have can be addressed or input can be documented. If you
