    GENERAL SUBJECT MATTER TO BE CONSIDERED:

    Financial Management No.: 415030-3-58-01

    Project Description: Seminole County is conducting a public information on Tuesday, January 20, 2015 at First Baptist Oviedo located at 45 West Broadway Street in Oviedo. The meeting is being held to present the proposed design plans and to obtain comments from the public regarding the State Road (SR) 426 and County Road (CR) 419 widening Phase 2 final design project. It begins with an open house at 5:30 p.m., where participants may review project information and discuss the project with staff. There is an informal presentation at 6:00 p.m., which will provide attendees a brief overview of the project. The meeting ends at 7:00 p.m. Staff members will be available to discuss the project and answer questions before and after the presentation.

    The County, in conjunction with the City of Oviedo and the Florida Department of Transportation, is preparing design plans to widen SR 426 and CR 419 from Pine Avenue to Avenue B to a four-lane divided urban roadway. The roadway cross section includes two travel lanes separated by a 22-foot raised median. It also includes continuous sidewalks and on-street bicycle lanes along both sides.

    Once the final design is complete, the Phase 2 widening will move into the right-of-way acquisition phase and ultimately into construction. Because of funding issues, the project was divided into three phases for design. The design of Phase 1, SR 434 widening from Smith Street to Franklin Street, was completed in April 2012 and is currently in the right-of-way acquisition phase. Construction is anticipated to start in fall 2015. Phase 3, from Avenue B to west of Lockwood Boulevard, is currently not programmed for design.
