GENERAL SUBJECT MATTER TO BE CONSIDERED: Financial Management No. 405854-1

Project Description: Wekiva Trail – Segment 5 (formerly known as Tavares-Mount Dora Trail) Corridor Planning Study from Disston Avenue (Wooton Park) to Tremain Street, located in the Cities of Tavares and Mount Dora, and in unincorporated Lake County.

The Cities of Tavares and Mount Dora, in partnership with the Florida Department of Transportation (FDOT), invites all persons to a Virtual Public Meeting on Wednesday, September 9, 2020, 10:00 a.m. – 11:30 a.m. The study evaluates three alternative alignments for a proposed multi-use trail. Two of the proposed alignments generally follow the Old U.S. 441 corridor with variations in the Mount Dora section of the study area. The third alignment being evaluated is within the existing railroad right of way.

The purpose of this meeting is to present the study goals, evaluated alternatives, seek public and agency input for the recommended planning concept, and provide interested persons an opportunity to express their views about the project. Your input will aid in developing proposed improvements to provide a safe, comfortable, and accessible trail for users of all ages and abilities.

The virtual meeting is being held consistent with the State of Florida Governor's Temporary Order on Meetings and will be hosted via YouTube at https://www.youtube.com/user/tavarespubcom1. The meeting will be available for post-meeting replay until September 16, 2020, via the same YouTube link.
