The roadway network in the
study area provides extensive
regional connectivity, with
most roadway segments
below capacity. The existing
transit network is oriented
around connections to
downtown Kissimmee, Walt
Disney World and downtown
Orlando. Much of the US 192
corridor has benefited from
streetscape improvements
that include transit shelters,
wide sidewalks and bike lanes.
However, many portions of the
study area corridors still have
rural roadway cross sections
that lack sidewalks and safe
transit accommodations.
The high vehicular speeds
on both corridors pose an
additional challenge to transit
and pedestrian mobility.
Balancing the needs of all
transportation modes will be a
key transportation challenge for
the Alternatives Analysis.

A Publix anchored shopping center is the
largest commercial use on west US 192.
This portion of US 192 is primarily built out with
an auto dominated, suburban form of a mix of
commercial and lodging uses. The roadside
landscaping has wide sidewalks, transit stops and
lush landscaping.
A themed dinner attraction attracts significant
seasonal crowds and employees during and after
the PM peak hour.
The largest hotel in Osceola County offsets the
seasonal nature of business with a substantial
convention business.
Older than the Maingate area, this section of US
192 is a mix of commercial and lodging uses with
upgraded roadside192
landscaping emphasizing
pedestrian orientation.
A mix of local and tourist uses including the
Osceola Square Mall is auto dominant in
development pattern.

The intersection of US 192 and Orange Blossom
Trail is a large, congested auto dominated
crossroads.
The city core has good bones of a grid street
pattern, an existing multi-modal station to be
strengthened by SunRail, a CRA for funding
improvements and is the opportunity to
continue growing a pedestrian oriented place
with significant employment.

The two large employment
centers of the Disney resort
and downtown Kissimmee
offer a great opportunity for
ridership, particularly with
the transit system in place at
Disney and the multi-modal
center in Kissimmee. The
addition of SunRail stations
in and very near the corridor
is another good opportunity.
The tourist commercial
uses provide service sector
employment and a significant
number of seasonal visitors
which will assist ridership.
One challenge will be
creating pedestrian oriented
destinations to contrast to
the auto dominated corridors.
Kissimmee has excellent
policies in place to promote
that type of development
along with the downtown
which is already on its way
towards transit oriented
development. Continuing
these practices in selected
locations will balance the
selected transit option with
an appropriate, future land
use pattern.

A mixed use, new urban community that has a
substantial population. Further, the land uses
nearest US 192 include employment uses and
the Celebration Health Hospital.
A tourist attraction in the East Gate section of
US 192 is indicative of the auto dominated
development pattern of this area augmented
by a strong pedestrian oriented roadside
landscape treatment.
The earliest tourist hotels have been abandoned
for newer lodging accomodations. Now these
hotels have been left vacant or turned into low
cost weekly rentals for the local population.
A tourist attraction farthest east on US 192
has seasonal crowds and employees in the PM
peak hour.

Provide more transportation choices. Develop safe, reliable, and economical transportation choices to decrease
household transportation costs, reduce our nation’s dependence on foreign oil, improve air quality, reduce greenhouse gas emissions, and promote public health.
Promote equitable, affordable housing. Expand location- and energy-efficient housing choices for people of all ages, incomes, races, and ethnicities to increase mobility and lower the combined cost of housing and transportation.
Enhance economic competitiveness. Improve economic competitiveness through reliable and timely access to
employment centers, educational opportunities, services, and other basic needs by workers, as well as expanded business
access to markets.
Support existing communities. Target Federal funding toward existing communities—through strategies like transit oriented, mixed-use development, and land recycling—to increase community revitalization and the efficiency of public works investments and safeguard rural landscapes.
Coordinate and leverage Federal policies and investment. Align Federal policies and funding to remove barriers to collaboration, leverage funding, and increase the accountability and effectiveness of all levels of government to plan for future growth, including making smart energy choices such as locally generated renewable energy.
Value communities and neighborhoods. Enhance the unique characteristics of all
communities by investing in healthy, safe, and walkable neighborhoods—rural, urban, or suburban.
