Abstract

This case study shows how balancing community character, access to local retail, and regional mobility can lead to efficient infrastructure investments that support redevelopment and reuse. Glatting Jackson worked with the City of Winter Park, Florida and the Florida Department of Transportation (FDOT) to develop a design plan for Orlando Avenue (US 17/92), a five-lane regional arterial that serves as a community street for local businesses and residents. The solution acknowledges regional transportation needs while providing access to businesses and addressing safety concerns of pedestrians and cyclists. Through a combination of pedestrian and bicycle facilities, new local roadways, streetscape improvements, and access management, the design promotes redevelopment, reduces travel delays, and improves safety.
