City of Longwood:

Evans Street Road Improvement Project - This project consists of construction of a 2 lane road in the existing right-of-way on Evans Street just past the Public Works Administration Building east to North Lockwood Boulevard.  Currently, that portion of Evans Street is a dirt road.  The other portion of the road is paved and will be resurfaced as part of the project. Improvement to this road will provide connectivity and improve capacity.  Surveying and engineering plans will be part of this project and construction is budgeted for Fiscal Year 2011-2012. For more information regarding this project, please contact the City's Engineering Department at 407-971-5692

The Jackson Heights Middle School "Safe Routes to School" Sidewalk Improvement Project involves sidewalk improvements along several roadways in the Washington Heights and Johnson Hill area within the vicinity of Jackson Heights Middle School.  The project involves installation of approximately 11,940 feet of 5-foot sidewalks.  The improvements are targeted to improve walking conditions for students attending school as well as pedestrians that walk to bus stops located along Reed Avenue, Wilson and Harrison Streets and along CR419.  All proposed improvements are within a two mile radius of the school. Construction is anticipated to begin in December of 2011.

Downtown Lift Station Force Main Improvement Project - The City recently hired Blue Ox Enterprises to construct the downtown lift station re-route project.  The project began in November, 2011 and will be completed by the end of 2011.  The re-route was necessary to eliminate manifolding with other lift stations.  Prior to the re-route, the force main ran east from the intersection of Oviedo Blvd. and Broadway Street to Academy Avenue, south around Jackson Heights Middle School and then west back to Oviedo Blvd.  The new 8-inch force main reduces the route by approximately 19,000 feet.

The SR 434/Central Avenue Streetscape/Sidewalk project includes various improvements to the Mitchell Hammock Road/SR434 intersection and installs sidewalks along the east side of SR434 from Mitchell Hammock Road to Clonts Avenue.   Design was completed by  Vanasse Hangen Brustline, Inc. (VHB).  The project includes approximately 550 linear feet of 5-foot wide concrete sidewalk along the existing right-of-way on the east side of SR 434 (Central Avenue) from Clonts Avenue to Mitchell Hammock Road.  Associated improvements include grading, driveway removal and replacement and sodding.  In addition to sidewalks for pedestrian connectivity, the design will include hardscape improvements such as stamped asphalt pavement for pedestrian cross walks and hardscape amenities such as directional signs, benches, recycling /trash receptacles, bicycle racks and two Lynx bus shelters.  Associated improvements include asphalt milling, signage, striping, and median landscaping. A construction contract was awarded to Central Florida Environmental on November 7, 2011 and the work is scheduled to begin on or before January 9, 2012.  For any road closures related to the project, please see the News Alerts listed under the Public Works section of the City's Web page.
