Recent confirmation of the 2026 FDOT Roadway Improvement Project (FPID 448783-1) significantly enhances the property’s accessibility and traffic-capture potential:
• Expanded "Left-In" Access: In addition to standard Right-In/Right-Out, the site is served by an existing Bi-Directional (Full) Median Opening. This allows eastbound traffic (traveling from I-4/Disney) to turn directly toward the property, potentially doubling the daily trip count and customer reach compared to restricted-access sites.
• Approved 2026 Signalization: FDOT has approved and is currently implementing a Pedestrian Hybrid Beacon (PHB) at the adjacent Interior Street/Four Winds Blvd median opening.
• Enhanced U-Turn Capability: This new signal will physically stop through-traffic on US-192, creating "safe gaps" that facilitate easier and safer U-turns for westbound exiting traffic.
• Retail Readiness: These state-vetted improvements ensure the site meets the high-access requirements for national QSRs, fuel stations, and high-volume retail tenants.
Updated Value Proposition: The preservation of the "Full Median" status in the 2026 plan, combined with new signalization, justifies a premium valuation. This site is uniquely positioned to capture 100% of the 50,000+ AADT (Annual Average Daily Traffic) flow.
