Why 12-Foot Traffic Lanes Are Disastrous for Safety and Must Be Replaced Now

SR211 ends (or starts) at Peninsular Place just north of I-95.

Got it-so the residential section is part of the Florida highway section, but the commercial isn't. Clear as mud.

So, while I realize there's a financial component to FDOT owning the road, this to me is a perfect example of one that the city should control.

I think that section got turned over after they did the improvements.  That said, FDOT would probably be more than happy to give away the remainder of the road through Riverside.  The City would have to agree to that though and maintain it but it will allow a lot more flexibility for modifications/improvements.

That's correct, although the surrounding land owners want the road the way it is now... so, doubt that a context sensitive street is really on the radar of anyone at Public Works.  One landowner actually wants transit only lanes for a PCT trolley system.

^ is that the same land owner who is very much opposed to any Skyway extension?

Yes.
