The Florida Department of Transportation (FDOT) is conducting a maintenance project for the segment of State Road 426 (S.R. 426) from west of South Park Avenue to east of North Lakemont Avenue, a distance of approximately 1.7 miles.

As part of this effort, a coalition was formed to identify improvements to incorporate into this maintenance project with the goal of improving safety for all users. The SR 426 Coalition identified issues and solutions with a focus on engaging the local community.

The coalition evaluated a variety of factors including safety, pedestrian and bicyclist mobility, speed management, and traffic operations. The goal of this maintenance project is to rehabilitate the pavement while incorporating proposed improvements that can be implemented within the existing right of way.

The coalition was completed in December 2023, and the project has proceeded into the Design Phase. For information on the Design phase for this project, please go to FPID 451282-2 SR 426 (Fairbanks Rd) from S Park Ave to N Lakemont Ave.

A second Community Event was held Wednesday, October 4, 2023. Please see the event information in the files below.
