School bus traffic is planned to be routed through Mabel Bridge as well.

Please don’t miss the last opportunity to request changes to the school design plans. Support your neighbors and our community by attending the meeting. The meeting is only one hour of your time, but the design of the school has the potential to significantly impact to our community.

Here’s the design presentation OCPS gave at the last meeting.

If someone rings your bell in the next few days, please answer. A group of neighbors are coming around now thru Oct 24 with petitions regarding the new school. It’s important residents know what’s happening and sign the petitions if you agree with them.

Commissioner to Attend Board Meeting to Discuss Traffic Concerns

The next Board of Directors’ meeting on May 11th will include a special discussion with Commissioner Betsy VanderLey regarding traffic issues in Mabel Bridge. As many of you know, and some of you have reported to Orange County, we experience difficulties with cars speeding in parts of the Mabel Bridge. Chateaubriand Ave experiences what is likely the highest amount of travelers and there have been reports of speeding is several of it’s segments.

Orange County has offered a potential solution of reversing the direction of the STOP signs at the corner for Chateaubriand and Acosta (near the pool). Comm. VanderLey is coming to discuss this change and hear viewpoints and concerns from our Mabel Bridge residents.

If you have concerns about traffic or speeding in Mabel Bridge, this is a wonderful opportunity to discuss them with a public servant who has the ability to influence change. The Board is grateful Comm. VanderLey is willing to attend our meeting and we are looking forward to a thorough and thoughtful discussion with her. We would love for many homeowners to attend and be part of the discussion, too.

Betsy VanderLey was elected to the Board of County Commissioners in 2016 for our district, District 1.

The Board meeting is at 7pm on May 11th at Windermere Preparatory School in the Videoconference room. As always, the meeting details and a map are posted on this website.
