Subject:
The Agreement between the State of Florida, Department of Transportation (“FDOT”) and the City of Orlando (“Agency”) on behalf of Orlando City Soccer (“EDTPF Business”), to receive an Economic Development Transportation Project Fund (“EDTPF”) grant.

Summary:

On behalf Orlando City Soccer, The City of Orlando Economic Development Department has applied for and was awarded an Economic Development Transportation Fund project (“EDTPF”) grant.

The project limits include:

-Central Boulevard, from Glenn Lane to Approximately 180-feet west of Division Avenue,

-Glenn Lane from Church Street to Central Boulevard,

-Parramore Avenue from Church Street to Central Boulevard, and

-Terry Avenue approximately 135-feet north of Church Street to Central Boulevard, for a total distance of 3593 linear feet.

The proposed improvements include widening the existing sidewalks on one side of each roadway to 15-feet. Widened, continuous sidewalks will provide an unobstructed pedestrian connection that improves ADA accessibility to the project site and increases the capacity for large crowds. Construction of the sidewalks within the project limits does not require additional right-of-way. All improvements are located within existing right-of-way or City owned land. Since the improvements are not subject to vehicular traffic and less than threshold required for a permit, a permit from the St. Johns River Water Management District (SJRWMD) is not anticipated at this time.

The Project at an estimated total cost of $341,574 and under this agreement the FDOT is prepared to provide partial funding for the amount of $245,000 toward the total cost of construction of the Project.
