Central Florida remains one of the fastest-growing regions of the nation, and with that growth comes plenty of traffic woes, but Tanya Wilder hopes these problems will soon be a thing of the past. The lifelong Orlando resident has worked for the City of Orlando for eight years, with the last four as a Transportation Policy Advisor. Orlando Mayor Buddy Dyer selected Wilder to be the director of the city s transportation department earlier this year.
Also discussed during the virtual meeting of the ISB Coalition is a proposal to add protected bicycle and pedestrian lanes down the middle of Clyde Morris Boulevard from Beville Road to Halifax Health Medical Center. That stretch of Clyde Morris Boulevard could also include a roundabout and pedestrian tunnel under the road in front of the Embry-Riddle Aeronautical University campus, FDOT officials said. Your vision for Clyde Morris Boulevard is absolutely spectacular, Rodney Cruise, Embry-Riddle s senior vice president for administration and planning, told FDOT leaders taking part in the Zoom meeting. You guys have just outdone yourself. It s really just out of the park.
