FDOT is holding a public workshop as part of their Robinson Street Corridor Study on November 4.
Orlando residents are encouraged to attend and to take part in exploring strategies to make Robinson Street more safe and comfortable to use, for vehicles and pedestrians.
The study seeks to document existing and future travel needs as well as community visions and desires. The Study’s findings will be documented in the Corridor Alternatives and Strategies Report.
Residents can also share their ideas via the Robinson Street Corridor Study interactive map, which can be found HERE.
Current comments on the map include:
“There is no pedestrian crossing opportunity between Mills Ave. and Fern Creek Ave.”
“Pedestrian ramps are not ADA compliant.”
“There is no indication that Dickson Azalea Park exists (no entrance feature). The park needs an entrance feature and maybe a crosswalk in front.”
“Milk District has most potential for redevelopment”
The workshop run 5:30-8 p.m. November 4 at the First Unitarian Church [GMap].
Please
help us stop the FDOT from fraudulently representing the ADA to justify
obstructing our sidewalks. My Profile Pic shows one of the 73 light
posts in the middle of the Bee Ridge Road Sidewalk. Utility Posts
should be in the Utility Strip, not in the middle of the sidewalk.
duh…
The “Pedestrians Lives Matter” Campaign

manhattan in august is arguably the same, maybe even worse than orlando because the giant buildings trap the heat, it’s all blacktop covered in garbage residue so it’s not only hot as hades but smells like a toilet exploded.. try doing the highline in august you’ll melt. still, the point is you get used to it, you adjust to not having a car or using one to go *everywhere* and it’s great.
Absolutely. Let us make this a liveable, walkable, bike rideable, people oriented city.
Congestion ≠ speedway
+1 on Lymmo. Imagine if the Lymmo connected the Milk District to the Ivanhoe district, College Park and SODO? We’d almost have a fully functional pedestrian city!
It’s a speedway. Having just left downtown for College Park, I can attest to the insanity that is trying to cross Rosalyn.
“…exploring strategies to make Robinson Street more safe and comfortable to use, for vehicles and pedestrians” ??
The only way to make Robinson Street more safe and comfortable to use for pedestrians is to have less vehicles.

“Everyone is doing 60 [at rush hour]”??? Do you guys realize how ridiculous you sound? I live 4 blocks away from Lake Eola and I’ve maybe seen someone going 60 three times, all late at night when no other cars are around. It is impossible to go 60 during rush hour. Hell, you’re lucky if you can go 35 on most weekdays.
At rush hour, Mathew is right. I think this public comment idea is trying to address that and other issues.
That is true, but some of that is climate. There is a difference in walking 10 blocks in Manhattan and in Orlando in August. At least in many parts of urban cities, there are mass transit options that arrive often enough to be useful. Orlando is getting there, but lags behind other major cities, especially when connecting the people and where they live to the places they work. With options like Sunrail, you can see the improvement.
Rumors are that is part of the proposal- people want a real city but they are afraid of walking. Biking. And living like real urbanites:).
Major city dwellers don’t take their car to 7/11- they walk.
35mph POSTED. MEANWHILE – every one is doing 60 and it is a residential hood w a major school and a couple of parks.
Those of us who live on this street would like you all to drive nice:)
Robinson and Corrine should be the two priority road modifications in Orlando.
35mph… Not exactly a speedway.
Maybe the road in front of the City’s signature downtown park and a middle school should t be a speedway for pedestrians to play Frogger. Change it, Orlando.
Please, please, please let us consider reworking Corrine Drive, a true corridor from Baldwin Park through Audubon Park down Virginia (crossing the downtown bike path with ALL the Audubon bike riders) through Mills Park to Orange Ave and Lake Ivanhoe ! Bike friendly, pedestrian friendly, road diet is desperately needed.
I would love to see the Lymmo connect the milk district to the the other Lymmo lines.
Makes it kind of difficult when you live downtown and have two kids, Jeffery.
I pray this gets done. It will be a big step towards urbanization. Robinson is not ped/bike friendly at the moment. It is a shame they won’t be using the space for a light rail system but at least it is a start.
Get out of your car.
Let’s change the only east/west four lane road between 408 and Colonial to two lanes….brilliant! That should help with the rush hour commute.
