Topics getting the most attention in Kissimmee public meetings, ranked by how frequently they are discussed.
3 issues in roads with high priority
Columbia Avenue Complete Streets Project
Several items on this agenda tie into the Columbia Avenue Complete Streets project — design services, an interlocal agreement with the Tohopekaliga Water Authority, and a federal streetscape grant. It's a coordinated effort to improve one of the city's key corridors.
Deteriorating Amtrak and SunRail stations
A resident warned Amtrak may drop Kissimmee as a stop because of the station's poor condition, and a homeless camp sits at the SunRail ramp. Fixing it could run about $6 million including ADA platform work, and the city is weighing options with the county and DOT.
Person Street corridor neglect
A resident described a mostly minority neighborhood between John Young Parkway, MLK Jr. Boulevard and Oak Street with unpaved streets, no sidewalks, no cul-de-sac on dead-ending Person Street, abandoned cars and debris. He's asking the city to fix streets and protect property values there.
