DOT acts on city traffic in Mount Dora
Florida DOT rejected one traffic request in Mount Dora and has another under advisement. Officials told Mayor Willmott a flashing signal is not warranted on Fifth Ave near McDonald St, and permission to ban through traffic on Old 441 awaits federal statute clarification. Shoulder delineators may be required at the dangerous curve, and a district crew replaced knocked down posts after a recent accident. The DOT notes possible legal limits on restricting truck traffic where federal funds exist unless safety conditions warrant.
