The goal of this project is to resurface the segment of State Road (S.R.) 426 from South Park Avenue to North Lakemont Avenue in Winter Park, near Rollins College. Additional safety improvements included in this project were developed through the S.R. 426 Coalition to help manage speed through the corridor and provide more pedestrian crossing options. Raised intersections and new midblock crossings equipped with Pedestrian Hybrid Beacons are planned. The project also proposes to add median islands, and to enhance pavement markings and signage near the curve at Brewer Avenue.

A Coalition Project to evaluate potential concepts for the corridor was conducted under Financial Project Identification (FPID) Number 451282-1. The preferred concepts are being finalized during design.

The Florida Department of Transportation (FDOT) will hold a project open house to present the final design plans to the community and to receive feedback.  The open house will be held from 5:30 p.m. to 7 p.m. on Thursday, February 6, at the Winter Park Events Center, Grand Ballroom, 1050 W. Morse Blvd., Winter Park FL  32789.

To provide additional flexibility for the community to participate, the FDOT is also offering online options.
