Public Input: Mr. Pat Villilo, Tuscawilla, spoke in reference to the proposed expressway, and asked what the City of Winter Springs is doing about it. Mr. Gerald Brinton, Seminole County Expressway Authority-Update: Mr. Brinton, executive director of the Seminole County Expressway gave an update on the proposed expressway. He described the alignments that are in the Winter Springs area. They are proposing two alignments coming up from S.R. 426, one on the east side of the Raintree Subdivision and one on the west side. They both come to a point south of Winter Springs Boulevard. One alternative is to go between the Tuscawilla subdivision and Mission Road. Once the expressway gets up to the wastewater settling ponds the alignments branch out into four different routes. One extends north straight ahead over a wider section of Lake Jessup to U~S. 17/92. Another turns west and follows the existing route of SR 434, adjacent to it. over behind City Hall and crosses the lake in a narrower section or continuing on around SR 419. A third alternative is to split the difference between those two, going through the wet- lands or go around SR 419. The fourth alternative is one that is labeled "E" and follows the alignment of the railroad along the northern boundary of the Tuscawilla Subdivision. and then veers away from the alignment to a common point either crossing at the narrower portion of Lake Jessup before going around SR 419. No interchange is proposed at Winter Springs Boulevard. There will be interchanges at Aloma Avenue near the County line. Another one at Red Bug Lake Road skipping and bridging over Winter Springs Boulevard and another interchange with S.R. 434. The next meeting with the proposed expressway is being scheduled for May. and construction is scheduled to start in late 1989 subject to financial feasibility. Public Hearing for Ord.
