The Florida Department of Transportation (FDOT) is proposing operational and safety improvements along Silver Star Road (State Road (S.R.)) 416) from Princeton Street (S.R. 438) to Orange Blossom Trail (U.S. 441) in Orlando.
improvements include repaving this section of Silver Star Road to extend the life of the roadway. Operational improvements include installing a raised traffic separator along Silver Star Road east of the John Young Parkway (S.R. 423) intersection. Channelizing islands will also be installed at Hansrob Road and the Wawa driveway, which will restrict left turns onto Silver Star Road at these locations. Traffic signal and pedestrian signal upgrades at Princeton Street, Eunice Avenue, and Mercy Drive are also proposed.

Traffic signal and pedestrian signal upgrades at Princeton Street, Eunice Avenue, and Mercy Drive are also proposed.
Pedestrian and bicycle safety improvements along the project corridor are also planned. These include constructing a new crosswalk on Silver Star Road near Princeton Street (S.R. 438), filling in sidewalk gaps and improving bicycle connectivity along the paved shoulders where possible, providing bus stops, and reconstructing curb ramps to meet current Americans with Disabilities Act (ADA) standards. Lighting improvements are proposed at the signalized crosswalks at Princeton Street, Eunice Avenue, and Mercy Drive, as well as new signing and pavement marking features.
