The Florida Department of Transportation (FDOT) is enhancing safety improvements along Clearlake Road (State Road (S.R.) 501) from S.R. 520 (W. King Street) to Industry Road in Cocoa. The project plans to mill and resurface Clearlake Road from S.R. 520 to Michigan Avenue. The project also plans to lower the speed limit from S.R. 520 to Industry Road by implementing various techniques to encourage safer driving speeds.

Pedestrian safety elements include realigned and improved crosswalks, upgraded pedestrian signals, and reconstructed sidewalk and pedestrian curb ramps to meet current Americans with Disabilities Act (ADA) standards. The project also plans to upgrade existing traffic signals and pedestrian lighting and make necessary drainage adjustments.

The Pedestrian Hybrid Beacons (PHB) will be located at the following locations:

• Between Atkinson Street and Terrace Street
• Between Sunhome Street and Broadcast Court
• Between Tropical Court and Ollie Street
• Between Loring Street and Highland Court
• Between Minnie Street and Melrose Street
