The Orlando-Orange County Expressway Authority announces a public meeting to which all persons are invited.
DATE AND TIME: January 23, 2013, 6:00 p.m. - 8:00 p.m.
PLACE: Cypress Creek High School Cafeteria, 1101 Bear Crossing Drive, Orlando, FL 32824.
GENERAL SUBJECT MATTER TO BE CONSIDERED: The Expressway Authority is planning to build a partial interchange between State Road 417 (Central Florida GreeneWay) and State Road 91 (Florida’s Turnpike). The project will include new ramps from southbound SR 417 to southbound Florida’s Turnpike, new ramps from northbound Florida’s Turnpike to northbound SR 417, and a proposed sound wall along the southwest side of the SR 417/Florida’s Turnpike interchange. The meeting will be an open-house format where the public will be able to obtain project information and speak with members of the project team.
The Expressway Authority performs noise studies during the design phase of capacity improvement projects. During the design phase, a noise analysis was conducted and locations were identified where a sound wall would be a viable measure to reduce traffic noise. The Expressway Authority is now trying to determine the level of support from potentially affected residents for the construction of these sound walls. The proposed sound wall concepts will be presented at the January 23rd meeting.
