Is that C/D grade LOS or Level of Service? Also was that operating under today's traffic conditions or some future year? I ask because a LOS D is acceptable on FDOT facilities.

Bike Lane has been added.
I wish I had asked the Dot Rep at the Town Hall meeting why Bike Lanes were not part of the original plan.
By the way- today is the last day for formal public comment in the proposal.

Lake- as to LOS/ ADT , I do not know.
My question at Town Hall as to forecast projected increased ADT ( average daily traffic) could not be answered at the meeting.

Very interesting. Typically these types of projects/solutions aren't proposed without an evaluation of existing and projected traffic conditions.

Any other thoughts on some improvements?

Maybe expanding the sidewalk near the retail areas down Herschel and improving the lighting?

Also, maybe creating parallel parking rather than slanted parking down Herschel and increasing the almost "linear park" nature of where the old street car line was with more green space?

I would also be interested to see where the bike lanes were put. This area could be a great walkable environment if this is done correctly by FDOT.
