LAKE MARY, Fla. - The City of Winter Park invited the public to sound off on a controversial plan to redesign several blocks of Orange Ave. just east of Orlando Ave.
The Orange Avenue Overlay project is designed to improve walkability and parking along one of the city's busiest roads. At the same time, it will serve as a gateway entrance to the downtown area.
New renderings were released during a virtual public hearing on Monday, showing a hotel, retail shops, and park space.
