The purpose of the project is to make safety and operational improvements along North Orange Avenue (State Road (S.R.) 527) from Magnolia Avenue to Rollins Street in Orlando. The project plans to reconfigure the roadway to provide a single travel lane in each direction and use the existing outside travel lanes to provide more on-street parking.  In some areas, the curb line will be extended, and in other areas floating islands will be built to help define the on-street parking and help to encourage safer driving speeds along the corridor. Pedestrian safety improvements are also planned.

Additionally, the roadway will be repaved to extend the service life of the existing roadway. Drainage modifications and upgraded pedestrian curb ramps to comply with current Americans with Disabilities Act (ADA) standards are also planned.
