Lakewood Ranch Southeast

PROJECT HIGHLIGHTS
The Lakewood Ranch Stewardship District has initiated infrastructure improvements to support the development of new residential villages planned for the southeast area of Lakewood Ranch, focusing on roads, multi-use trails, park spaces, and essential community services.
Road construction will improve capacity along Bourneside Boulevard—north of University Parkway and south to Fruitville Road. In addition, University Parkway will be widened between Lorraine Road and Bourneside Boulevard.
Roundabouts will be implemented at key intersections within the project area to improve traffic ﬂow and user safety.
Bicycle lanes and pedestrian features will be included to increase connectivity and safety for non-motorists.
During construction, roads will remain open with changes in traffic patterns communicated several days ahead through roadway variable message signs.
All infrastructure improvements supporting this project are funded through the Stewardship District and apportioned to the new residential areas.
