PLACE: Camp Challenge, 31600 Camp Challenge Road, Sorrento, FL 32776

GENERAL SUBJECT MATTER TO BE CONSIDERED: Financial Management No. 238275-8 & 238275-7. Project Description: Wekiva Parkway Sections 5 & 6. Section 5 involves designing the non-tolled relocation of County Road (CR) 46A out of the Seminole State Forest, thereby improving habitat connectivity and reducing the risk of conflicts between vehicles and wildlife. CR 46A would be realigned 2.5 miles from north of Arundel Way to connect to State Road (SR) 429 east of Camp Challenge Road. Work will include designing a new two-lane, undivided roadway; drainage; signalization; signing and pavement markings; utilities and other roadway features.

Section 6 entails designing 5.5 miles of limited access toll road largely along the existing SR 46 corridor from west of Old MacDonald Road to east of Wekiva Park Road. The project will include designing a non-tolled, service road for local travel, a new bridge over the Wekiva River, as well as several wildlife bridges to allow animals to pass safely between the Seminole State Forest and Rock Springs Run State Reserve.

Work will include designing connector roads between remaining sections of CR 46A and SR 46, roadway widening, medians and turn lanes, drainage, sign and pavement markings, utilities and other roadway features. A 6-mile multi-use path is also being designed along these project sections.

A flyer will be distributed at the meeting.
