The Ledger
U.S. Rep. Darren Soto, D-Kissimmee, has submitted 11 projects to the House Committee on Transportation and Infrastructure for consideration in surface transportation authorization legislation. That legislation builds on the Moving Forward Act, which passed in the House last year, Soto’s office said.
The submissions include four Polk County projects. Soto has requested nearly $1.4 million for Florida Department of Transportation for the widening of Hinson Avenue in Haines City. The representative is also seeking $300,000 to improve the intersection of U.S. 17-92 and County Road 557 in Lake Alfred.
Soto submitted two requests for widening Lucerne Park Road (CR 544)in the Winter Haven area. He requested $5 million to expand the stretch between Martin Luther King Boulevard and Lucerne Loop Road and another $5 million to widen the road from Lucerne Loop Road and State Road 17.
