The Florida Department of Transportation (FDOT) improved safety and operations on U.S. 192 (West Irlo Bronson Memorial Highway/West Vine Street/State Road (S.R.) 530) from Bamboo Lane to Main Street in Kissimmee. This project repaved and re-striped 5.7 miles of the existing roadway to provide 11-foot-wide travel lanes and a 7-foot-wide buffered bicycle lane in both directions of U.S. 192 from east of Bamboo Lane to Hoagland Boulevard. Additionally, the westbound left-turn lane onto southbound Oren Brown Road was extended.

Pedestrian enhancements included new signalized crossing opportunities at Oren Brown Road, Interior Street, and south of Four Winds Boulevard. At Interior Street, the project is added Pedestrian Hybrid Beacon (PHB) signals and reconstructed the existing bi-directional median. The crossing near Four Winds Boulevard was equipped with a new PHB, and a new traffic signal, pedestrian signals, and crosswalks were installed at Interior Street. PHBs are pedestrian-activated overhead signals that stop traffic to allow people to cross the road safely. Additional improvements included upgrades to pedestrian curb ramps and sidewalk connections at Yates Road and Mann Street.
