The one thing I did not like about it, as a local (we live in Dr. Phillips) less than a mile from where this is supposed to be built. The traffic is already awful in this area and now the construction will worsen that and when it's done again, the traffic will get worse.
Combine that construction when the 'Ultimate I-4" construction gets closer to this area, traffic will be unbearable I'm afraid. The traffic at the intersections of both Turkey Lake & Sand Lake as well as Sand Lake and I-Drive is just ridiculous as it is. Can't wait to see what this does to it.
They plan to build pedestrian bridges over the intersection. Their traffic study said doing this and removing all people from walking across the streets will speed up the traffic flow through the intersection.
Wow, did Florida decriminalize mary jane for planning meetings? I have sat at those intersections for a larger part of my vacations than I would ever want to, and NEVER did I think the volume of foot traffic was the issue. Gotta say I feel for you DrivenbyDisney.They plan to build pedestrian bridges over the intersection.

South of Sand Lake is good with the convention center,the Orlando eye projects,Sea World and Aquatica and better hotels,the north side definitely needs a major redevelopment,a lot of older hotels and worthless shops,with Skyplex,whatever Universal does with WetnWild this area will definitely get a boost.The most exciting thing thats come out of this is the news of Universal buying those 450 acres behind the Orlando Eye development,whatta you think will go there?????
