The Floresta Drive Phase 2 project facilities the construction of approximately 1.7 miles includes incudes the construction of roadway, signing and marking, signalization, lighting, landscaping, utilities, and a new bridge crossing over the Elkcam Waterway. The project also includes the construction of new roundabouts ay Polynesian Avenue, Bywood Avenue and Walters Terrace. The typical section of the projects consists of constructing one 12 foot through lane and 7-foot buffered bicycle lane in each direction.
