SUMMARY:
Conversion of Davis Highway and Dr. Martin Luther King, Jr. Drive from one way to two way traffic is a project identified in the Eastside/Urban Infill Area Redevelopment Plan. During its meetings on May 1, 2019, and July 10, 2019, the Eastside Redevelopment Board (ERB) affirmed its support of the two-way conversion project and recommended the project for inclusion in the Fiscal Year 2020 Community Redevelopment Agency (CRA) Eastside Community Redevelopment Area Work Plan.
Since the ERB’s action in May, the Florida Department of Transportation (FDOT) has expressed a commitment to initiating a traffic study to determine the feasibility and costs related to the two-way conversion of Davis Highway and Martin Luther King, Jr. Boulevard. This study is currently underway. An update will be provided during the meeting.
