In order to help address the increasing traffic demand along VCL and in the area, Orange County has identified the need to improve VCL. An RCA has been initiated for VCL from Goldenrod Road to Econlockhatchee Trail to study the benefits and impacts resulting from alternative roadway improvements. The types of improvements to be studied as part of the VCL RCA process include:
- Addition of lanes to the existing two-lane sections of VCL from Goldenrod Road to Econlockhatchee Trail.
- Signalization and intersection improvements.
- Special treatment and/or additional lanes at major intersections.
- Addition of sidewalks, bike lanes, and other safety enhancements.
- Landscaping upgrades, roadway lighting, and drainage enhancements.
The purpose of the RCA process is to confirm the need for the roadway improvement, determine a most suitable alignment for the improvement, and estimate the community and environmental impacts associated with alternative improvements. The RCA process melds the technical analysis with dialogue from citizens to proactively produce appropriate solutions to transportation issues.
Individual citizens and interested groups will be given numerous opportunities to become involved throughout the RCA process. The public will be informed of the study's progress, and will be provided forums, including public meetings, small group/community meetings, and public hearings, for input into the decision-making process. |
