Upgrading and Planning Roads, Lighting, Drainage, etc.

 Apopka at large

During my time as Commissioner, I was able to get MetroPLAN Orlando Rock Springs Road from the McDonald’s to Lester Road. I was able to secure county funding for infrastructure planning that will evaluate projected growth, roadway capacity needed, and proportionate funding shared between city and county. I also advocating for flood control measures for the Wekiva Village Townhomes and Hobby Lobby Shopping Center, which were flooded by Border Lake. I utilized county staff and contracted experts to create the Border Lake Draw Down Plan for flood control measures for the Wekiva area and Shopping Center near Rt 436, which are routinely flooded by Border Lake. I secured street lighting for the following streets: Apopka Blvd, Rock Springs Rd, Piedmont Wekiva Rd, Mt. Plymouth Rd, Welch Rd (east), and Votaw Rd (east). Plymouth Sorrento Road is scheduled for a lighting package in 2027. In addition, all major South Apopka roadways have been converted to LED street lighting.
