Florida Turnpike announces new study to build road connecting Davenport to Poinciana Parkway I4 Connector project
Recent data ( https://www.bestplaces.net/transportation/zip-code/florida/poinciana/34759 ) shows that Poinciana commuters spend more time stuck in traffic than commuters elsewhere in Central Florida, Florida or elsewhere in the United States. 54% of Poinciana commuters spend more than two hours every day stuck in traffic trying to earn a living to support their families. Osceola County traffic data ( https://www.osceola.org/agencies-departments/transportation-transit/traffic-counts-map.stml ) shows that the biggest source of traffic congestion for Poinciana is Cypress Parkway. That problem was identified in a 2013 study conducted by Florida Department of Transportation recommending the Southport Connector project be built to help the Poinciana commute situation.
Congressman Darren Soto's office has confirmed that the Federal Civil Rights Complaint that has been delaying this project has been dismissed.
With the complaint dismissed CFX will now be able to present the current status of the study to the public so that the community can see what will actually be proposed and have a discussion about the merit of the project.
Osceola County Traffic Engineering recently responsponded to requests from Poinciana residents asking what Osceola County is doing to address the Poinciana traffic congestion.

PRFSC is was proud to host Central Florida Expressway Authority as our guest for a Stakeholder Meeting for the Southport Connector Project 7PM Septermber 30 at the Poinciana Library.
Prior to the Sept 30,2024 PRFSC meeting CFX reached out and met with the SCAR group who has been oppopsing the Southport Connector project. The meeting was viewed as very positive by both sides.
SCAR was pleased to learn that CFX had accepted their reccomendations for adding local lanes to Cypress Parkway. CFX also agreed to add additional lanes to Doverplum at the Doverplum Cypress Parkway intersection.
SCAR was also told by CFX that their alternative to using Cypress Parkway could not be constructed because of the already committed Osceola project to expand Poinciana Blv from 2 lanes to 4.
