Mt Dora Downtown Road Work
Donnelly Street Right-of-way Improvement Design
As part of the initial effort for improving pedestrian spaces downtown, the Mount Dora CRA has prepared plans for the sidewalk and streetscape improvements, for the block of Donnelly Street from 5th Avenue to 4th Avenue. The purpose of the project is to enhance the pedestrian areas, sidewalks, ADA ramps and crosswalks, but other improvements will also be made.The project includes replacing sidewalks, installing ADA ramps at corners, resurfacing of pavement, installing in-ground electrical service boxes for events, and adding antique street lamps and trees. This project is to be funded through a FDOT Enhancement Grant.
Donnelly Street Improvements are anticipated to begin July 1, 2014.
Downtown Streetscape ImprovementsThe Mount Dora CRA will construct streetscape, right of way, underground utility, and other related improvements in the historic downtown commercial core. The area includes nearly 200 businesses, several park areas and is adjacent to Lake Dora. The downtown area is active and attracts thousands of visitors. Because of these special circumstances, a highly qualified and experienced construction team has partnered with the city to ensure that this project is executed to meet the high standards of Mount Dora residents and visitors.
General DescriptionThe Streetscape Work Program will include the removal and/or installation of following elements: sidewalks, curbs, trees, landscaping, irrigation, antique street lamps, in-ground electric boxes, crosswalks with pavers, hardscape, ADA ramps, bulb-outs, milling and resurfacing of streets, parks, parking, storm water drainage facilities, potable water, sanitary sewer lines and services, and other features.
Primary Goal Improve walkability of the downtown area by increasing pedestrian access and safety, while strengthening the physical and visual connection between the downtown core and the Lake Dora waterfront.

Design Process The design process involves laying out the Streetscape Elements into the street right of way. The design process starts with the primary goal of improving walkability and pedestrian safety. This involves the elements of sidewalks, crosswalks, and ADA ramps.
Project Schedule & Phasing
The Streetscape Improvements Program will be done in multiple phases over a multi-year time frame. The number of years and the timetable for construction has not yet been determined. The annual construction schedule will likely be limited to a time period between April 1st to September 30th yearly, depending on location of work and impact on businesses and events.
Phase I was completed October 1, 2013
Phase II is anticipated to begin July 1, 2014 which includes Donnelly Street.
I will do my best to update you all and keep you "in the know" about this project and how it will effect our businesses and daily enjoyments of our Downtown activities.
