CR 455 Extension Project Development & Environment (PD&E) Study

Project Background

The need for improvements was identified by:

• Lake-Sumter Metropolitan Planning Organization (MPO)
• The 2035 Long Range Transportation Plan identified the need for an additional

north-south corridor

• Wellness Way Area Plan (WWAP)
• Identified as an area with significant economic development opportunities
• Mix of residential, commercial, office, education, medical and recreational

uses to provide employment in Lake County

• Identified a north-south corridor extension of County Road 455
