East Orange County grew about 4% per year between 1990 and 2000. Plus, the student population expanded in the University of Central Florida and Valencia Community College (VCC) East Campus.
Growth in the region creates an increased demand on the transportation infrastructure and the need for safe, efficient transportation facilities. Valencia College Lane (VCL) is an important east-west connection between Goldenrod Road, Chickasaw Trail and Econlockhatchee Trail. It is a two-mile corridor and needed widening.
Orange County and the Orlando-Orange County Expressway Authority (OOCEA) have been working together to coordinate road network changes needed for improvements to the Expressway Authority’s SR 408/SR 417 interchange system. Here is what will change:
Orange County has decided to construct Valencia College Lane in two separate phases based on OOCEA’s funding contribution.
