For Lakeland residents planning to attend next week’s public forum on the future of South Florida Avenue in Dixieland, a look at some proposed options might be helpful.
Ten alternative lane alignments are outlined in a preliminary report from a consultant hired by the city of Lakeland to create a master plan for the corridor.
The Florida Department of Transportation and the city of Lakeland have completed collecting data from the “road diet test” that has reduced South Florida Avenue from five lanes to three between Ariana and Lime Streets since April 2020.
City and state officials are now taking feedback from the public on the lane reduction in two ways:
- An online survey is available until next Monday.
- A public forum is scheduled for Monday, July 11, from 5 to 7 p.m. in Sikes Hall at the RP Funding Center, 701 W. Lime St.
