REQUEST:
The Public Works Department informing the City Commission about FDOT's planned
resurfacing of S.R. 434 from S.R. 419 to Tuskawilla Road.
SYNOPSIS:
FDOT will be resurfacing S.R. 434 from S.R. 419 to Tuskawilla Road starting in May 2015
and completing in December 2015.
CONSIDERATIONS:
. The Florida Department of Transportation (FDOT) will be resurfacing S.R. 434 from
S.R. 419 to Tuskawilla Road. Construction starts on or around May 11, 2015 and is
scheduled to be complete in December 2015. The majority of the work will be
performed at night between the hours of 7:00 PM and 7:00 AM. No lane closures
will occur during daytime hours or any portion of the AM and PM peak periods.
The work will be performed by Hubbard Construction Company, under contract with
FDOT. The project cost is $2.35 million and includes:
• Asphalt resurfacing
• Extension of the S.R. 434 eastbound left turn lane at Central Winds Drive
(access to schools and Central Winds Park) by approximately 600 -feet
• Construction of a new sidewalk along the north side of SR 419 from SR 434 to
Layer Elementary School
• Sidewalk, curb ramp, and related pedestrian improvements at various
driveways and intersections along S.R. 434 between S.R. 419 and Tuskawilla

Road.
o Improvements to signage, striping, and existing traffic signals to meet current
standards
. The extension of the S.R. 434 eastbound left turn lane at Central Winds Drive
addresses a major safety and operational concern for access to Winter Springs High
School, Choices -In- Learning Charter School, and Central Winds Park. The turn lane
extension is projected to be complete before school opens on August 17, 2015.
At the S.R. 434 intersection with Doran Drive, the decorative stamped asphalt center
circle and crosswalks will be removed. The crosswalks across S.R. 434 at Doran
Drive will be replaced with decorative thermoplastic crosswalks having a brick
pattern, similar to the recently installed crosswalks on Moss Road and matching the
new decorative crosswalks that will be installed at the S.R. 434 / Tuskawilla Road
intersection as part of the City's Market Square project. Replacement of the
decorative center circle at Doran Drive would cost the City more than $50,000 and is
not recommended due to the high installation and maintenance costs. Having
decorative thermoplastic crosswalks (similar to the Red Bug Lake Road / Tuskawilla
Road intersection) provide a decorative appearance at a reasonable cost to install and
maintain.
FDOT's resurfacing work on S.R. 434 will end just west of Tuskawilla Road. The
resurfacing of the S.R. 434 / Tuskawilla Road intersection will be completed as part
of the City's Local Agency Program (LAP) project for Market Square, which will be
under construction during the same period as the FDOT resurfacing project.

continue to do so during construction. Project contacts at FDOT are listed below:
