Sorrento Road at Doug Ford Drive: Latest on the Signal Installation


FDOT will be installing a signal at Doug Ford Drive and Sorrento Road as a part of their current project on this roadway.  I have not seen any work on this signal over the last 10 weeks, so I requested an update from our traffic engineer Chris Phillips, and he recently got this update from his counterparts at FDOT, below:

"Utility companies have been notified to schedule their relocation work at the proposed foundation location.  There are three underground communication lines to be relocated / adjusted to accommodate the 60” concrete drilled shaft.  To date we have heard no response from the underground utilities on when their work will begin. In January 2023, the contractor estimated up to 20 weeks to have the mast-arm and cabinet delivered to the project.  Which could potentially be sometime early June 2023.Based on the above, I am estimating the foundation to be installed approximately mid to late April, and the signal installation / operation to be sometime mid to late June."

I’m hearing a rumor that this installation of a light at PBCC was canceled. Can you confirm that it’s still on the schedule to be completed and if so, when? Thanks!
