Maitland City Talk

Joint TAB/P&Z Meeting on Thursday

On Thursday, June 12, the city of Maitland’s Transportation Advisory Board and the Planning and Zoning Commission will meet to revisit the recommendations of a 2004 traffic study and the future plans for Maitland Avenue.

The Maitland Area Transportation Study — conducted in 2004 by civil engineering firm Kimley-Horn and Associates under the direction of an intergovernmental steering committee – evaluated the traffic patterns of Maitland’s roadways, presented findings, and provided recommendations for improvements to alleviate congestion particularly at U.S. Highway 17-92 and Horatio Avenue. The study encouraged the city to take steps to discourage use of Maitland and Horatio avenues.

The purpose of the joint session is to receive input and discuss downtown traffic issues. The meeting will start at 6:30 p.m. in the City Hall Council Chambers. This meeting will be an excellent opportunity for the public to express their views on this important traffic issue. These discussions will help shape the future of the city’s downtown.
