The purpose of this project is to implement pedestrian safety improvements along Woodland Boulevard (U.S. 17-92) from East Beresford Avenue to Plymouth Avenue in DeLand. Improvements include upgrading existing pedestrian crossings and adding six new pedestrian crossings at the following locations:

• East Winnemissett Avenue
• DeLand Intermodal Transportation Facility
• Georgia Avenue
• Michigan Avenue
• University Avenue
• South of Pennsylvania Avenue

The crossings would be equipped with Rapid Rectangular Flashing Beacons (RRFBs), which are pedestrian-activated signals that display flashing yellow lights to alert drivers that a pedestrian is ready to cross. By state law, vehicles must stop at all marked crosswalks when a pedestrian is present.

Upgrades to existing crosswalks and pedestrian curb ramps are included.
