New construction of a municipal facility in Orlando, Florida. Conceptual plans call for the construction of a municipal facility.

The current location of Transportation's Sign and Signal Shop located at 1214 Westmoreland Drive. The facility is a multipurpose building for specialized work areas, equipment/supply storage, and serves as a field operations center for these functions in emergency operations like post hurricane. Storage is the biggest need. Storage in the current building is inadequate to store beyond minimal inventory, including large items like traffic signal cabinets and high volume items like signs. There is a need for specialized storage for materials like chemicals and rechargeable batteries. Increased area for specialized work is also needed to better accommodate activities such as bench testing multiple controller cabinets and fabricating signs. Parking is inadequate to accommodate all employees, city vehicles, and visitors, which leads to visitors creaking parking in other work areas. Another area of concern is the location of the current facility with the growing expansion of services in the southeast sector. The commute/response time to and from the current location is inefficient. As of March 28, 2024, this project is included in the City of Orlando's Fiscal Years 2024 -2028 CIP and funding allotted for FY 2024/25 and FY 2025/26. *Project information has been obtained through a public capital improvement plan (CIP).
