A. Lake-Sumter MPO Update on Local Roads and Intersections

City Commission Meeting · 2026-04-13 · agenda_item

The Lake-Sumter MPO is reviewing its 2050 Long Range Transportation Plan, which was adopted in December and is updated every five years. This plan guides transportation improvements across Lake and Sumter counties, with a current five-year funded program valued at approximately $1.5 billion. The MPO is exploring various projects, including intersection improvements, technology upgrades for traffic signalization, and safety enhancements. Recent discussions have focused on the need for re-evaluating projects like US 441 and State Road 27, and identifying potential funding for smaller projects such as bike paths, sidewalks, and complete streets. The MPO is also analyzing crash data to develop a countermeasure plan for reducing fatal and serious injury crashes. This ongoing review and planning process presents opportunities for contractors, suppliers, and service providers to engage early. As the MPO and DOT consider project phases, design, and funding, businesses specializing in site preparation, grading, utility work, paving, electrical, HVAC, plumbing, and landscaping could find future work. Reaching out now allows businesses to understand project pipelines and potential needs before formal bidding processes begin.
