Wintercrest Drive Green Street Project

The project proposes to design and construct subsurface biofiltration basins along Wintercrest Drive and Winter Gardens Boulevard in the community of Lakeside.

Subsurface biofiltration basins are green stormwater infrastructure devices designed to capture, temporarily store, and treat stormwater runoff beneath the ground surface. These basins utilize specialized engineered layers to clean water while remaining completely hidden under roadways.

Construction: What to Expect

Construction is expected to begin in Spring 2028 and anticipated to be completed in late 2028.

Please note that construction dates are subject to change due to compliance requirements, inclement weather, and/or other unforeseen circumstances. 

During construction, the County will make every effort to minimize disruptions in the surrounding area. While most work will occur within the public road right-of-way, temporary access to private property will be needed in some cases. There will be temporary impacts to utilities, and to both vehicular and pedestrian traffic. Traffic control measures, including signage placed prior to and during construction, will be implemented to ensure the safety of our customers.
