where Osceola Trail is located today. At that time, it terminated at Timberlane Trail. In 2008, N. Winter Park Dr. was rerouted to form a more direct connection between Seminola Blvd. and S.R. 434. Helen St. and Belle Ave. have also been reconfigured relative to their location in the 1974 plat (Figure 6). Districts within forth Winter Park Drive The primary study area and its immediate context can be conceptually divided into three segments: the Southern Neighborhood District, the Neighborhood Center District, and Northern Neighborhood District (Figure 3). These three segments also correlate to varied conditions along the roadway on N. Winter Park Dr. In addition, there are commercial services along the Seminola Blvd. and S.R. 434 corridors. Southern Neighborhood District The Southern Neighborhood District (Figure 8) includes the area from the southern boundary of the primary study area to Gee Creek. The study area within this district is primarily residential and is bordered by the Public Works Compound, the City Water Reclamation Facility, and natural areas. The context area includes the Sherwood Forest Mobile Home Community along with apartments and commercial uses on the north side of Seminola Blvd. The typical cross section of N. Winter Park Dr. in this district consists of two travel lanes with sidewalks on both sides and sharrows within a right-of-way of approximately 58 feet (Figure 9). Sidewalks are located immediately adjacent to travel lanes with no lateral separation. Sharrows indicate that a travel lane is intended to be shared between motor vehicle and bicycles. The posted speed limit is 25 mph. Single-family residential driveways directly access N. Winter Park Dr. between Bluebell Dr. and 7`" St. This is likely to create challenges for residents exiting their driveways when traffic volumes or speeds are high on N. Winter Park Dr. Side streets in this area are likely low-volume as they serve a small number of residents; they typically have sidewalks on one side of the street. Children were observed playing in the street and play equipment, such as basketball hoops facing the roadway, further suggest that these are low volume streets in which residents feel comfortable allowing their children to engage in independent play (Figure 10).
