Boggy Creek Rd Widening Public Meeting

Osceola County is holding a virtual and in-person public meeting on Thursday, December 2, 2021, at 6 p.m. regarding the Boggy Creek Road Widening Project. The purpose of the project is to address capacity and enhance safety along the corridor. Osceola County is designing the preferred alternative that was selected by the Osceola County Board of County Commissioners earlier this year, which will provide two 11-foot-wide travel lanes in each direction separated by a raised median. Traffic signal modifications, drainage improvements, and construction of an 8-to-10-foot-wide multi-use path with a 4-to-7-foot-wide buffer on the south side of the roadway are included. The design also includes a 6-foot-wide sidewalk with a 4-to-7-foot-wide buffer on the north side of the roadway. The public meeting is an opportunity for the community to learn about the design, ask questions and provide input. The project is currently in the design phase. Construction is expected to begin in fall 2023.
