Welcome!
The Florida Department of Transportation (FDOT), in conjunction with Lake County and the City of Groveland, is conducting a Project Development and Environment (PD&E) Study to re-align State Road (SR) 50 to the northern side of Downtown Groveland. The study area limits are from County Road (CR) 565 (Villa City Road) to CR 565A (Montevista Road), a distance of approximately 2.1 miles.
The City of Groveland’s Downtown Master Plan focuses on creating a pedestrian friendly town center; encouraging commercial development and redevelopment; and providing additional residential options so that people may live and work in Downtown Groveland. Currently, SR 50 consists of one way streets with two travel lanes in each direction (Broad Street serving westbound traffic and Orange Street serving eastbound traffic). In addition, SR 19 and SR 33 run north-south, intersecting with SR 50 at two separate points within Downtown Groveland. All three roadway facilities experience heavy truck traffic, which is a challenge to creating a pedestrian friendly environment.
The proposed roadway improvement would re-align SR 50 to the north of Downtown on a new alignment. This change would shift the truck traffic away to the new facility and allow the existing SR 50 to be modified to provide improved access to Downtown businesses. This change also would include a new intersection of SR 50 and SR 19 that would correct the turning movement deficiencies experienced today by the heavy truck volume. Once the SR 50 realignment is constructed, Broad Street and Orange Street will become the jurisdiction of the City of Groveland and would no longer be part of the State road system.
