Traffic and cut-through congestion in Eastgate and Kentucky Avenue neighborhoods
Summary
Both public hearing items turned on existing traffic problems: residents on Kentucky Avenue near Denning Drive and on the Eastgate streets behind Lander Road described cut-through traffic, dangerous intersections, and speeders. The Fairbanks developer will dedicate right-of-way for a westbound left-turn lane onto Denning, and the car wash denial hinged on unresolved traffic questions.

Impact analysis
The city's transportation division will conduct its own holistic traffic study, and the developer will dedicate right-of-way for the turn lane; costs of off-site improvements could fall to the city and FDOT.
Residents near Fairbanks, Denning, and Lander stand to gain from turn lanes, signal retiming, and heightened attention to cut-through traffic.
Until improvements arrive, residents continue to face backed-up intersections and speeding cut-through traffic through their streets.
