City campaign urged to fund CR 466A improvements - Daily Commercial: News
This story, from the online news source that won't post on this site, is from December 2013: Byline Meta Minton: The widening of County Road 466A from the Sumter County Line to U.S. 27/441 is one step closer to reality.
As The Villages prepares to build along County Road 466A in Fruitland Park and carry heavier traffic than ever before.
The Lake County Commissioners has approved a Transportation Regional Incentive Program (TRIP) agreement with the Florida Department of Transportation for right-of-way funding related to the County Road 466A widening project. The project is proposed to construct a four-lane divided urban roadway, which begins at U.S. Highway 27 and runs west to the Lake/Sumter County Line in Fruitland Park.
The road will have sidewalks, bicycle lanes and a divided median. This TRIP agreement will fund right-of-way purchases for two of the three phased construction segments of County Road 466A. The two phases to be funded with the TRIP funds under this agreement are Phase I from U.S. Highway 27 west to Sunny Court (0.43 miles) and Phase II from Marguerite Drive west to the Lake/Sumter County line (1.81 miles).
Phase III from Sunny Court west to Marguerite Drive remains unfunded at this time (0.81 miles). FDOT is providing $4.354 million in TRIP funding. Lake County is providing the required 50 percent match of $4,354 million from previously expended and budgeted funds.
