Subject:	Osceola County is holding an in-person meeting on Tuesday, March 25, 2025, from 5:30 p.m. to 7:30 p.m., and a virtual meeting on Thursday, March 27, 2025, from 5:30 p.m. to 6:30 p.m. regarding the Michigan Avenue Safety Improvements Project. The purpose of this project is to enhance safety and operations for all modes of transportation along Michigan Avenue. Osceola County is proposing improvements along Michigan Avenue, at several intersections along the corridor, to include: • Install a new mid-block crosswalk with a pedestrian activated Pedestrian Hybrid Beacon (PHB) at Boulder Drive. • Install a new pedestrian activated PHB, as well as improve existing pavement markings, at the existing mid-block crosswalk at Garden Street. • Remove the free flow right turn lane at E. Carroll Street. • Add a crosswalk and pedestrian signals on the north leg of the intersection at E. Donegan Avenue. • Extend the existing concrete separator on the north leg of the intersection at U.S. 192 to increase safety by preventing through and left turn movements from Lehigh Street, and the shopping plaza in the northeast quadrant. • Separate shared curb ramps into individual curb ramps at the signalized intersections at U.S. 192, Mill Slough Road, E. Donegan Avenue and E. Carroll Street. • Relocate pedestrian detectors, and add sidewalk, to make pedestrian detectors ADA compliant at all locations. • Mill and resurface in areas where the roadway, pedestrian ramps, and pavement markings are being modified. The County is offering multiple ways to participate in the meeting. All participants will receive the same information regardless of which option they choose. • In-Person Option: The community is invited to attend an open house at the Kissimmee Civic Center, 201 E.
