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, from 10 a.m. to 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. Members of the public may participate in the meeting by submitting their comment(s) to trail@tavares.org through September 16, 2020. Project team members will be available to answer questions you may have. Individuals with disabilities needing assistance to participate in any of these proceedings should contact the Tavares City Clerk at least two (2) working days in advance of the meeting date and time at (352) 742-6209 or snovack@tavares.org.
