Phase 2 builds on the success of the Grand National Drive Phase I Improvements, which were completed in May 2025. Phase I widened Grand National Drive from Oak Ridge Road to Vanguard Street and introduced wider multi-use sidewalks, improved drainage, landscaping, and traffic flow enhancements.
The project improved safety and mobility for motorists, pedestrians, and bicyclists while supporting the city's Vision Zero initiative and the continued revitalization of the International Drive corridor. Phase 2 will extend these improvements south from Carrier Drive to Vanguard Street, creating a more connected and accessible transportation network.
