Fairbanks Street Project
This project was completed in February 2009. The project re-constructed Fairbanks Street between Kathleen Road and the CSX railroad mainline. A new at-grade crossing was installed to allow Fairbanks Street to be extended west of the railroad track. The new roadway runs north, paralleling the railroad track and intersects with Bella Vista Street. The Bella Vista Street railroad crossing has been removed and Bella Vista Street has become a local dead-end road between Kathleen Road and the railroad track. A new traffic signal now operates the intersection of Fairbanks Street and Kathleen Road. A new southbound right turn lane on Kathleen Road has been constructed. The City has closed the median openings on Kathleen Road at W. Lavon Street and Arlington Road. The Florida Department of Transportation required the closure of these median openings so that the left turn lanes at Fairbanks Street could be lengthened.
