A public hearing is being held regarding plans to improve safety adjacent to the railroad crossing on S.R. 15/600 (U.S. 17/92), south of Orange Avenue, in Winter Park, Orange County. The project addresses operational and safety concerns surrounding the crossing by installing a raised grassed median along S.R. 15/600 (U.S. 17/92), from the railroad crossing to 100 feet north and south of the crossing. These modifications reduce traffic conflict points at the intersections, improving safety. Additional information will be available at the public hearing related to pavement marking improvements proposed for the railroad crossing on S.R. 426, east of Pennsylvania Avenue, in Winter Park. The public hearing will be Thursday, August 10, 2017, from 5:00 to 7:00 p.m. at the Civic Center of Winter Park, 1050 W. Morse Boulevard, Winter Park, FL 32789.
