About

The Florida Department of Transportation (FDOT) will make safety and operational enhancements on State Road (S.R.) 19 from north of Stevens Avenue to County Road (C.R.) 452 in Eustis. S.R. 19 splits through the City of Eustis, with northbound lanes as Grove Street and southbound lanes as Bay Street.

Both sides of the roadway will be resurfaced. Raised crosswalks will be constructed to reduce vehicle speeds on Grove Street at the intersections of Magnolia Avenue and Gottsche Avenue and on Bay Street at the intersections of Magnolia Avenue, McDonald Avenue, and Clifford Avenue. Curb extensions, or bulb-outs, will help increase pedestrian visibility and reduce crossing distances.

Shared lane markers, known as “sharrows,” will be placed on Grove Street and Bay Street. These markers will denote a shared lane for cyclists and motorists. Other upgrades will include lighting, drainage, signage, striping, landscaping, pavement markings, and traffic/pedestrian signalization.

This project is expected to be constructed alongside a safety project (FPID No. 445686-1), which will improve several intersections throughout the corridor.
