The Florida Department of Transportation (FDOT) will hold a public hearing about proposed plans to improve safety on U.S. 17/92 (State Road (S.R.) 15) at the intersection with the southern leg of Piney Ridge Road by installing a raised concrete traffic separator between the northbound travel lanes and the crosswalk. Based on a qualitative assessment conducted at this location in February 2019, it was recommended that the northbound right turn movement at the intersection be restricted, but traffic exiting the southern leg of Piney Ridge Road onto U.S. 17/92 will still be able to turn right. This modification improves safety in the area by reducing the number of conflict points at this location.
The public hearing will be Thursday, May 30, 2019, at the Winter Springs Civic Center, 400 N. Edgemon Ave., Winter Springs, FL 32708. The hearing will begin as an informational open house at 5 p.m. where displays and other project information will be available for review.
