Robinson Street Concept Development Study Open House

Orlando, Fla. The Florida Department of Transportation (FDOT) is holding an informational open house as part of the Robinson Street (State Road (S.R.) 526) Concept Development Study in Orlando. The concept development further refined recommendations identified during the planning phase of the study.  The recommendations focus on multimodal enhancements along approximately two miles of Robinson Street, from North Hughey Avenue to Crystal Lake Drive/Maguire Boulevard.

The open house will be held on Thursday, May 23, from 5:30 p.m. to 7 p.m. at the First Unitarian Church (Gore Hall), 1901 E. Robinson St., Orlando, FL 32803. The open house is being conducted to present the recommended improvements, seek public and agency input, and provide interested persons an opportunity to express their views about the project. Community input will aid in developing proposed improvements to provide a safe, comfortable, and accessible corridor for users of all ages and abilities, including pedestrians, bicyclists, transit riders, and motorists.

Study team members will be available to discuss the study and to answer any questions you may have. Participants may provide public comment at any time. Written comments may also be submitted during the meeting or by mail. Please send your comments no later than June 3, 2019, to Heather Garcia, 719 South Woodland Boulevard, DeLand, FL 32720, or by e-mail at heather.garcia@dot.state.fl.us.
