The rapid development of UCF and the surrounding area are impacting Dean Road. The 1.4 mile study is from University Boulevard to McCulloch Road/Lake Georgia Drive.
The area is a mix of residential, commercial, churches, wetlands, farm lands and open land. Improvements will address the transportation needs while minimizing environmental, social and economic impacts.
Dean Road is a north-south roadway that links east-central Orange County with south Seminole County. It is a key thoroughfare in this area.
