Longwood retains its old Florida charm with a centrally located Historic District that serves as the city's central hub. Longwood is located between the Cross Seminole Trail and the Seminole-Wekiva Trail, two major trails that serve as regional multimodal connections to Seminole County. Longwood's SunRail station, constructed around 2014, an asset that provides commuter rail connectivity between Longwood and the greater Orlando area, is located adjacent to the City's Historic District. The City of Longwood completed its first Bicycle and Pedestrian Master Plan (BPMP) in 2012 to plan for the upcoming opportunities that multimodal travel would have in the City to link community resources, employment centers, shopping centers, parks, and recreation centers. The City of Longwood has experienced substantial growth over the years, leading to the need to reprioritize and address new active transportation needs. Since the previous master plan, the City has completed many of the recommended projects listed. The previous plan included four elements: bicycle infrastructure, pedestrian infrastructure, school connectivity, and wayfinding signage. This document updates the Bicycle and Pedestrian Master Plan, focusing on recommended bicycle and pedestrian improvements/projects. This Bicycle and Pedestrian Master Plan Update includes revised goals, objectives, and policies (GOPs), future planned projects within the area, connections to City parks and other natural areas, such as ponds, lakes, and wetlands, and recommended projects to continue to support an efficient multimodal transportation network within the community, further enhancing the City's key linkages, placement in the region, and mobility options. BICYCLE AND PEDESTRIAN MASTER PLAN UPDATE I [5] BICYCLE AND PEDESTRIAN MASTER PLAN UPDATE for the City of Longwood Purpose The purpose of the City of Longwood's Bicycle and Pedestrian Master Plan is to accelerate the implementation of projects and policies that support walking and bicycling in the City. The Bicycle and Pedestrian Master Plan Update was completed by the consultant team with guidance and direction from the City of Longwood Community Development Department and coordination with other City consultants. The Bicycle and Pedestrian Master Plan Update provides the following: • A series of policy recommendations to support bicycling and walking within the City, • An inventory and assessment of the existing bicycle and pedestrian facilities within the City, • An inventory of planned bicycle, pedestrian, and complete street improvements within the City, • A proposed network of facilities including bike lanes, shared lane markings, Bicycle Boulevard, signed connections, sidewalks, intersection improvements, share-use paths/trails, and wayfinding opportunities, and • An implementation plan, design considerations, and cost estimates for the recommendations in the Bicycle and Pedestrian Master Plan Update. Vision "The City of Longwood Bicycle and Pedestrian Master Plan aims to provide multi-modal transportation options, as well as regional connections within the City of Longwood through the development of bicycle and pedestrian facilities. These facilities, once implemented, should provide the City of Longwood with safe and reliable pedestrian and bicyclist facilities, provide connectivity and mobility, and promote economic development and redevelopment opportunities. This plan will also highlight bicycle and pedestrian commuting. The facility and policy recommendations included in the City of Longwood Bicycle and Pedestrian Master Plan were developed in accordance with this vision."

Strategy 3: Promote the use of multi-modal transportation networks by providing secure bicycle parking and other amenities Objective s: Provide bicycle and pedestrian facilities that support the Sun Rail and LYNX Transit Systems Strategy 1: Request that the City use funds targeted for road widening projects to implement bicycle and pedestrian facilities that connect to SunRail, or high-ridership LYNX stops Goal 3: Provide Safe Walking Routes and Pedestrian Connectivity Throughout Longwood Objective 1 : Identify and provide safe corridors for students to access school facilities Strategy 1: Identify gaps in the bicycle and pedestrian network within a reasonable walking distance from schools Strategy 2: Outline strategies to leverage Safe Routes to School (SRTS) funding and the Community Traffic Safety Team (CTST) to implement projects that provide for safer routes to schools Objective 2: Address gaps in the pedestrian tacilities network Strategy 1: Collect and analyze data to identify gaps and to develop recommendations to address network deficiencies Strategy 2: Gain input from key stakeholders in the City familiar with the needs of City residents Strategy 3: Gain input from the public in a workshop to identify and prioritize pedestrian facility needs within the City BICYCLE AND PEDESTRIAN MASTER PLAN UPDATE I [8] BICYCLE AND PEDESTRIAN MASTER PLAN UPDATE for the City of Longwood Public Involvement In continuation of the original Master Plan and as part of the strategies to achieve the goals established herein, a public meeting/workshop was held to gather input from the public on the multimodal network. One main topic stood out from the public's input: safety. A quick snapshot of the comments is summarized below. Other comments included noting the intersections near the railroad track at Georgia Avenue to make it safer for pedestrians and speeding on local roads. Safety is crucial when creating a walkable community. Add wider sidewalks, speed bumps, roundabouts, more trees, green medians, and bike lanes. Cut-through traffic Warren Ave Add traffic calming on W. Bay Ave, creates conflict. Make Church Ave, and Wilma Ave one-way streets Deteour cut-through Traffic calming on Protected pedestrian traffic to reduce Ronald Regan Blvd movements at Church pedestrian risk southbound Ave & Ronald Regan Blvd Existing Conditions Over the last 10 years, the City of Longwood has been actively expanding its multimodal network. Since the first Bicycle and Pedestrian Master Plan in 2012, sidewalk gaps on roadway segments such as N Grant Street, Florida Central Parkway, Bennet Drive, and Longwood Hills Road were completed as well as a shared-use path/trail connecting from Candyland Park to Cross Seminole Trail. The existing pedestrian and bicycle facilities are depicted in a GIS format in Exhibit 1. Exhibit 2 displays the transit routes, transit facilities, and rail facilities within the City of Longwood. A geodatabase of the existing bicycle and pedestrian infrastructure is also available.

Planned projects include complete street projects, sidewalk projects, shared-use paths/trails, and intersection improvements. Planned projects have been identified in FDOT's 5- year Work Program, Metroplan Orlando List of Priority, Seminole County Capital Improvement Plan (CIP), Seminole County 2040 Transportation Master Plan, Seminole County Trails Master Plan, and the City of Longwood's CIP as provided by City staff. Planned projects, along with the project's status, are illustrated in Exhibit 3. Table 1 provides a detail summary of each planned project within the City of Longwood. These projects within the City of Longwood are divided into two main categories— Short-Term and Long-Term. Short-Term Projects Short-Term projects include all projects that will be implemented within the next five (5) years, it also includes projects that are currently under construction. A total of eleven projects were identified to be completed, or are anticipated to be completed, within five years. A current FDOT project exists along SR 434 which includes adding bike lanes, adding wider sidewalks or a shared-use path and median improvements. Within this project, the County is undertaking a redesign of the intersection of SR 434 & Ronald Reagan Boulevard. Other short-term projects include sidewalk projects performed by the City, a shared-used path along EE Williamson Boulevard by the County, and complete street project of E Church Avenue. Long-Term Projects The Long-Term projects are projects that will be completed within five and twenty years from the present date (year 2022). Eleven projects are planned to be completed in the long-term. Two types of projects were identified: complete streets and shared-use paths/trails. Complete Street projects are composed of a variety of improvements, such as, but not limited to, wider sidewalks, traffic calming, shared-use paths/trails, landscape, and streetscape, that start with a study phase followed by a design and construction phase. Shared- use path/trail projects within the City are identified within the Seminole County Potential Trail Project. These project's proposed alignments take advantage of the power line corridors that generally run north-south and connect major trials with the heart of the City.

The implementation strategy for the recommendations included in the City of Longwood Bicycle and Pedestrian Master Plan Update identifies projects that can be implemented in a shorter time frame due to their size, funding sources, and their ability to be added to other projects. The strategy also identifies projects that may require greater amounts of funding and longer time frames to implement. Table 2 provides cost estimates for the recommended project, priority ranking, time frame, and next steps. The project time frame was categorized into the following: Immediate (within 1 year), Short-term (2-3 years), Intermediate term (3-5 years), and Long-term (6-10 years) projects. Projects may be moved from one category to another based on the availability of funding and changes to the local community. Recommended Projects Multiple bicycle and pedestrian improvements are recommended to continuously improve the multimodal network within the City and link areas of interest throughout the City. The recommended improvements were based on an evaluation of existing conditions, site visits, future planned improvements, and coordination with City staff. The recommended projects can be separated into two (2) major types: pedestrian improvements and bicycle improvements. • Pedestrian improvements encompass projects that only include pedestrian connectivity. These improvements include sidewalks projects and intersections improvements (crosswalks). Recommended sidewalk projects focus on eliminating gaps (new sidewalk), increasing pedestrian safety, and widening existing sidewalk to either maintain standards or widen sidewalks on high-use areas. Intersection improvements include installing crosswalks, improving ramps, and installing raised intersections. Some of the projects may include improving landscape, streetscape, and other safety features. • Bicycle improvements include all projects where the facility can adequately serve cyclists, pedestrians, and other micro-mobility modes, such as but not limited to, scooters, tricycles, and other human-powered vehicles (HPVs). These facilities include bike lanes, shared-use paths/trails, shared- lane markings, and bicycle boulevards. Exhibit 5 illustrates the recommended improvements. Table 2 provides a detailed summary of the recommended projects along with their time frame and priority. Pedestrian Improvements The recommended pedestrian improvements are generally straightforward. These improvements consist of eliminating sidewalk gaps by constructing sidewalks or improving (widening)existing sidewalks. Most locations BICYCLE AND PEDESTRIAN MASTER PLAN UPDATE I [15] BICYCLE AND PEDESTRIAN MASTER PLAN UPDATE for the City of Longwood where sidewalk is recommended are ready to move forward with design. Existing sidewalk gaps to residential subdivision would require coordination with Homeowner Associations (HOA) or with residents since most entrances have concrete/masonry sings and landscaping that might need to be relocated or modified. Sidewalk improvement within the County right-of-way (ROW) or adjacent to a County project will require coordination with the County. Longwood Green is a residential subdivision with no sidewalk; sidewalk projects for the roadways within this subdivision are not included. Sidewalk should be provided if HOA or residents are in favor. The pedestrian improvements can be revised to include this improvement. Bicycle Improvements Bicycle improvements are generally along the alignment of an existing road, while shared-use paths/trails tend to have an alignment away from vehicular traffic creating a safe and protected environment. Four (4) shared-used paths are recommended: • Rangeline Road provides an ideal alignment to connect the future shared-use path/trail on EE Williamson with the south side of the City. A feasibility / corridor study is recommended to identify the appropriate alignment and potential impacts that might be present. The east side has multiple driveways with available ROW at some locations and the west side has existing power lines that might be a conflict and drainage constraints. Coordination with the County is required. • A shared-use path/trail is recommended to the south of SR 434 adjacent to Island Lake and the industrial area along a powerline. It is recommended to coordinate with stakeholders and property owners within the area. There is available terrain west of Bennet Drive and Commerce Way to provide a trailhead or bicycle rest stop. The trailhead can serve as a destination point for pedestrians, bicyclists, and other visitors. Island Lake can serve as a recreational park that caters to water activities such as kayaking, canoeing, and paddle boarding. Coordination with the lake owner(s) is highly encouraged in the planning stages of the trail. • The same powerline corridor extends north of EE Williamson Boulevard. South of EE Williamson Boulevard, a path is recommended to connect to Sandalwood Park. A rest stop is recommended at Sandalwood Park with a bike repair station, bike racks, and benches. Right-of-way acquisition will be required. • A shared-use path/trail is recommended from Lake Emma Road to pass Lazy Acres Lane to connect to the planned shared-use path/trail along the power line corridor. Minimal right-of-way acquisitions are anticipated. This proposed trail will connect two major planned trail and create a trail loop from Lake Emma Road, Greenway Boulevard, Lazy Acres Lane, and the powerline corridor. Shared lane markings are recommended along Orange Avenue, N Oleander Street, E Palmetto Avenue, and N Longwood Avenue to connect from N Grant Street to the SunRail station. This alignment serves as a low- volume road providing a more pleasant route for bicyclists. Signage along this route redirecting bicyclists is recommended. A Bicycle Boulevard is recommended along E Warren Avenue from Longwood Street to N BICYCLE AND PEDESTRIAN MASTER PLAN UPDATE [16] BICYCLE AND PEDESTRIAN MASTER PLAN UPDATE for the City of Longwood Lakeview Drive. A Bicycle Boulevard is generally defined as a roadway where many types of traffic calming methods are employed to keep speeds slow enough that bicyclists of all confidence levels feel comfortable using the facility. These treatments work best on roadways that are not the main thoroughfare so that other vehicles can use alternate routes. Intersection Improvements Recommendations at intersections are generally included within most sidewalk improvements and include crosswalks (pavement markings) along with ramps. Major intersection improvements at several intersections include raised intersection (speed table) to reduce traffic speed and prioritize vulnerable users (pedestrians and bicyclists). Raised intersections were recommended on Orange Avenue, near Longwood Elementary School and Grant Street. Other Projects A boardwalk connection is recommended from N Oleander Street to E Jessup Avenue. This connection serves as an alternate path for pedestrians and cyclists accessing Church Avenue heading to the Historic District while also providing a scenic view within a residential area. A feasibility study is recommended for this project.

This funding is intended for projects or features that go beyond what has been customarily provided with transportation improvements. This program is for projects that are related to the transportation system but are beyond what is required through normal mitigation or routinely provided features for transportation improvements. TEP is not a grant program; rather, projects are undertaken by BICYCLE AND PEDESTRIAN MASTER PLAN UPDATE I [28] BICYCLE AND PEDESTRIAN MASTER PLAN UPDATE for the City of Longwood project sponsors, and eligible costs are reimbursed. These funds can be used for streetscapes, signage, and roadway improvements.

The recommended projects, which were divided into two main types, bicycles, and pedestrians, were refined and prioritized based on the time frame to implement, funding sources, and their ability to be added to other projects; vulnerability was also considered when prioritizing the projects. The bicycle improvements included in this master plan connect the gap between two major trails, Cross Seminole Trail to the east and Seminole Wekiva Trail to the west, to better connect origins and key destinations together, while the pedestrian improvements focused on safety and equity. This plan is intended to evolve through the years and expand as projects and new developments in the City are constructed. As the City adopts the goals, objectives, policies, and projects in this plan, the City moves one step closer to its vision — "[...] provide the City of Longwood with safe and reliable pedestrian and bicyclist facilities, provide connectivity and mobility, and promote economic development and redevelopment opportunities."
