	CR 44 Intersection with Hicks Ditch Road This project consists of the construction of an eastbound right and westbound left turn lanes on CR 44 to southbound Hicks Ditch Road. Construction is complete. http://www.vhb.com/lakecounty/hicksditch/

	CR 44A and Estes Road Intersection The project will involve resurfacing and widening of the travel lanes to accommodate new turn lanes. In some locations both paved and unpaved shoulders will be added, as well as drainage swales. The project also includes the design of a new traffic signal, and is presently scheduled for construction this fiscal year; however, at the present time, right-of-way issues are causing delays.

	CR 439 at SR44 Intersection This project will widen CR439 to include southbound right and left turn lanes. Construction is complete.

	CR 448 Road Improvement Project The project will involve resurfacing and widening of the existing travel lanes from CR 561 east to new fire station 78. The widening will consist of a 12 foot lane, a 3 foot paved shoulder, and a 5 foot unpaved stabilized grassed shoulder in each direction. A new east bound left turn lane on to Lois Drive will be added, as well as a widening of the railroad crossing to accommodate the turn lane. In all locations storm water drainage will be accommodated by roadside swales. The project is presently scheduled for construction in fiscal year 2012.

	CR 450A Sidewalk This project will construct a 5’ sidewalk from Church St. to Marshall St. in Umatilla. Construction of the sidewalk is complete.

	CR 455 Howey Curve Road Improvement Project The project will involve realigning and widening the pavement surface, and adding storm water management. The project is located approximately 1200 feet east of the CR 561 and CR 455 Intersection. The realignment will consist of eliminating the “broken back curves” that exist now and constructing a standard horizontal curve. Storm water runoff will be handled by a proposed pond to be located north of the new road alignment, and swales located to the south of the new alignment. Additionally, catch basins and piping will be used to convey excess storm water to the pond. The widening will consist of adding both paved and unpaved shoulders. Specifically, the widening will be a 12 foot lane, a 4 foot paved shoulder, and a 3 foot unpaved stabilized grassed shoulder in each direction. The project is presently scheduled for construction in fiscal year 2010.

	CR 473 and Treadway School Road Intersection Project The project will involve resurfacing and widening of the existing travel lanes and incorporate new turn lanes as well. In all locations storm water drainage will be accommodated by roadside swales. Specifically, the turn lane configuration will consist of dedicated left turn lanes in all directions, a traffic signal will be added with pedestrian cross walks, and a sidewalk will be added on the southeast side of the project running south of the intersection. The project is presently scheduled for construction in fiscal year 2011.

	CR 565/Villa City Road The project will involve resurfacing and widening from Bible Camp Road to Simon Brown Road of the existing travel lanes, and adding unpaved shoulders and drainage swales.

	Bates Ave from Wall St. to Estes Road This project consists of the widening and resurfacing of the existing road from its current width of 19 feet to 24 feet and constructing a sidewalk on the south side of the road.

	Britt Road Through its Department of Public Works, the Lake County Board of County Commissioners initiated the design to improve of Britt Road between Wolfbranch Road and SR44 in Mount Dora in 2004. Since the inception, Public Works has progressed with the design and held public meetings seeking input from local residents concerning the proposed improvements. The proposed typical section consists of an urban section with two 12-foot travel lanes, pedestrian facilities, as well as turn lanes at the north and south terminus.The Lake County Board of County Commissioners has provided direction and approved a typical roadway section for the corridor. Phase II of the design has begun with geotechnical and survey services underway to assist in the determination of the location of the potential ponds needed for the stormwater. Additional information concerning the project can be located at the following ftp site and will be updated periodically: ftp://ftp.rsandh.com Username: Britt Password: !Br1tt#

	Dewey Robbins Road from US 27 to Turkey Lake Road This project consists of paving the clay roadway and intersection improvements at US 27. Construction is complete.

	Diane Dr. and Lisa Dr. This is a special assessment project that will reconstruct the existing failing roadways of Diane Dr. and Lisa Dr. Construction is underway and expected to be complete by early December.

	Edwards Road from US27/441 to Grays Airport Road This project will extend and pave Edwards Road from US27/441 to Grays Airport Road. Rights of way are still being acquired.

	Estes Road at Orange Ave. Intersection This project will add needed turn lanes to each leg of the intersection and resurface the existing roadway. Although a signal warrant analysis was performed for this intersection, a traffic signal is not justified at this time. Construction is complete. http://www.vhb.com/lakecounty/estes/

	Hartwood Marsh Road

	Lakeshore Drive and Harder Road Intersection Project The project will involve resurfacing and widening of the existing travel lanes and incorporate new turn lanes as well. In most locations curb, gutter and drainage catch basins will be added to accommodate storm water with the storm water routing to a proposed pond located on the southwest corner of the project. Specifically, left and right turn lanes will be added to Harder Road, and north and south bound left turn lanes will be added to Lakeshore Drive. The project also includes the design of a new traffic signal, and is presently scheduled for construction in fiscal year 2009.

	Lakeshore Drive and Oswalt Road Intersection Project The project will involve resurfacing and widening of the existing travel lanes and incorporate new turn lanes as well. In most locations curb, gutter and drainage catch basins will be added to accommodate storm water with the storm water routing to two proposed pond locations with one on the northeast corner of the intersection, and the other approximately 800 feet to the northeast on the northwest side of the road. Specifically, left and right turn lanes will be added to Oswalt Road, a left turn lane will be added to Log House Road, and north and south bound left turn lanes will be added to Lakeshore Drive. The project also includes the design of a new traffic signal, and is presently scheduled for construction in fiscal year 2009.

	Lane Park Cutoff Sidewalk SR19 to CR561 This project will construct a 5’ sidewalk on the south side of Lane Park Cutoff from SR19 to CR561. Construction is complete.

	Old 441 and Lakeshore Drive Intersection Project The project will involve changes to the Heim Road, Lakeshore Drive, and Oakland Drive intersections with Old 441. Lakeshore Drive will be converted to a “T” intersection with the elimination of the cross over northbound at Old 441, and Heim Road will also be converted to a true “T” intersection with a widening to accommodate turning traffic off of Old 441. Oakland Drive will be configured as a “right in and right out” turn configuration off of Old 441 westbound. Essentially, access to the north will be handled by Heim Road and Oakland Drive, and access to the south will be handled, as it is now, by Lakeshore Drive. Signalization will be added at both the Lakeshore Drive and Heim Road intersections with Old 441, with the Lakeshore Drive location having a pedestrian cross walk. The project will receive the needed widening and resurfacing from Heim Road to approximately 250 feet east of Oakland Drive along Old 441. The turn lane configuration at Heim Road will consist of a dedicated left turn lane off of Old 441 and dedicated left and right turn lanes off of Heim Road. The turn lane configuration at Lakeshore Road will consist of a dedicated left turn lane off of Old 441, and a dedicated left and right turn lane off of Lakeshore Drive. The railroad crossing at Lakeshore Drive will be widened to accommodate the new road design and pedestrian traffic. Storm water drainage will be handled by multiple items from existing drainage systems incorporating curb, gutter and catch basins, to added curb and gutter with a small pond added to the north side of the intersection. The project is scheduled for construction in fiscal year 2012.
