Big Changes Coming to Orlando Florida

[@kenpozek]

Thinking of buying or selling a home in Greater Orlando? We’d love to help! Reach out at theorlandoreal.com/youtube

[@repboy1]

I do appreciate all the roads being widened but I worry about all the trees and natural areas being torn down.

[@PrimeTimeTravelers]

Yes 532 going to 4 lanes will be huge! The traffic in that area is a nightmare.

[@ChetBatson]

Love the idea of a more cohesive thought process for downtown, nothing seems planned. Mills for example is a bustling area on the weekends, but there is no infrastructure, hardly any crosswalks or beautification. Like come on Orlando, add some trees and a bit more safety.

[@lizrodriguez3821]

I agree! There is so much to see and do in The Mills, but also nowhere to park. A parking garage would help tremendously.

[@terrancecooley3165]

What really concern me is that most of the bus stops here on 192 don't have a bus shade with no seats they only have the bus sign and a bench. They need the state of the art bus shade that tell you when the next bus is coming and also it would be cool if they made the bus shelter with air conditioner as you wait for the bus.

[@naomibrandt3260]

The problem is is that when you have a bus stop with decent shade and seats it acquires permanent residence by way of individuals who either don’t want to go home or don’t have a home. There are several bus stops in our area that I don’t feel comfortable approaching Because of the people that hang out/live there.

[@terrancecooley3165]

@@naomibrandt3260 nobody don't won't to stand at a bus stop with the sun barring down on them for like 30 minutes. At least they can build a bus shade so you can go inside just in case in might rain and have nice air conditioner inside as you wait for the bus to arrive just my opinion....

[@apai811]

They should convert I-drive to times square of the south.

[@TylerMcCarter]

I think of it more like the Las Vegas strip. Something like the Las Vegas monorail system would even translate nicely to i-drive to alleviate some traffic and make it easier for tourists.

[@Patrick-yh5yd]

It needs some great landmark like fremont street in vegas..

[@terrancecooley3165]

Also lake county can used the sunrail services here that would definitely be awesome....

[@kenpozek]

That’d be huge

[@terrancecooley3165]

@@kenpozek I live here in Clermont near four corners and I love this area....

[@rzc0624]

@@terrancecooley3165 What would you say are the things you like the most about Clermont?

[@Fizggig]

I just moved here from Chicago and it's great to see this city growing so much. Chicago has amazing architecture and I wonder if Orlando would start to grow up more adding taller buildings here? Fleshing out the city to have a smaller skyline?

[@Commonsenseisnotcommon8]

Orlando needs to worry on their mass transfer infrastructure. They literally have three train systems. I don’t know if the sun rails considered train or light tram but whatever. And only one of them connect to the airport. And none of them go out to Port Canaveral to the cruise terminals except for the bright line and it still doesn’t go all the way out. Unless they get some more trains around there, they’re the dumbest shit I’ve ever seen other trains. Go to the theme park either. And they don’t run at night and they don’t run on the weekends. Come on your whole city is built on tourism why would you not have stuff running at night and on the weekends and to your airport and to your major theme parks. 🙄🙄🙄🙄🙄🙄

[@meatiethatsme2471]

Very informative. Thanks Ken.

[@highlanderwins3328]

You know what would make commuting easier? Spend that money on better public transportation like more light rail and a better bus system and take a bunch of cars off the road.

[@Patrick-yh5yd]

In New York City half of people walk on buses without paying. Buses are magnets for crime.

[@AlexTraynham]

Love your stuff man! This is the first time I'm seeing you off of Instagram Reels but just subbed. I'm really excited to see all the new stuff coming to town especially I-drive that place has been struggling for years. We need something more than just the Funnybone and the Regal down at the Pointe.

[@kenpozek]

This is the spot I originally started posting 7 years ago! Thanks for the sub. Agree on I-drive.

[@nimaperception]

We are looking forward to the additional growth in the Orlando area. Thanks for sharing!

[@connie8249]

Thanks for the update Ken. I have not seen these places going up on 192, and we were just there a week or two ago. Looking forward to finding them and checking them out. Usually we just end up going towards celebration or the disney area.

[@sallystephanledvina8252]

Thanks for the info Ken!

[@kenpozek]

Hey, thanks for watching!

[@Weeki370]

All these projects are very spread out, checkout St Petersburg , great city layout, street grid easy to navigate, lots of great neighborhoods near each other, downtown very cohesive, Orlando just way to spread out, focused to much on cookie cutter suburbs

[@johnnymanning4920]

The 523 widening will be lit 🔥

[@MagdalenaAddario]

Great information thanks! Are there any new Active adult over 55 communities planned?

[@StadiumofLOLMAPS]

I just moved in next to the sand lake / I-4 intersection. Traffic is horrendous all the time, but I see lots of road work. Any idea when that is scheduled to finish? and if it will help relieve the congestion around here?

[@mariapalie841]

Sorry to say never is the correct answer. Construction is a constant in Orlando.

[@sensei1x]

I live on turkey lake and the construction there is supposed to take the exit off i4 onto sand lake and divert it some of it directly on to turkey lake. With, what seems like new construction everywhere I don’t see how this going to help. It’s shitty already. It’s just going to get worst.

[@AdamParish]

What do you think about the Ocoee moratorium on new permits? Seems positive. I listened to the commissioner meeting where the moratorium passed and the Ocoee leadership was saying all the right things: walkability, good design, interconnectivity, landscape buffers....

[@nyciron]

Hey Ken wondering if you have heard of new MSTU Municipal service tax unit for wellness way ? Ridgeview has no CDD

[@The_Alphabet_Mom]

I would like to hear more about the Green Island Ranch project (6000 acres) near St Cloud. What's to come there, and when is construction kicking off?

[@vickenbastajian2369]

Hi ken can u make a video about Siemens commercial ac units and security 😊??

[@nyciron]

There’s been some activity in Olympus site the past couple of weeks

[@atorres11720]

I saw JW Marriott Residences coming to Lake Eola. Downtown getting a lot of new units between west court, the edge and that!

[@thomasryan2864]

No water??

[@asmrwaterskin2478]

Need express bus service like other cities. There should be nonstop bus between orlandoa airport to downtown orlando or one of the superstops.

[@star_platinum2821]

I just read that they ae building a sports complex , hotels 170,000square foot medical building . velencia college and apts and homes off of schofield behind the 429 , do you know if that's true and when it will be completed

[@larryneiberheim592]

Big fan. Excellent video. Let’s hope they plant more palm trees with these developments. No more oak trees. Orlando needs to be more tropical like Tampa, Daytona or Miami. We don’t want Orlando looking like New Jersey, Missouri or Michigan.

[@kenpozek]

I’m a fan of just MORE landscaping haha. Adds to the charm to the area for sure

[@AtlanticMediaManagement]

Yeah. Native trees suck. The critters will figure it out .. or die, whatever

[@BrianK-zz4fk]

Oaks are protected, I live in colonialtown and gives it charm with mature trees. Cookie cutter developments lack any sort of charm regardless the landscaping.

[@Jay-us8ko]

What do you think they're going to do about all the homeless people that we have now before it was just West Colonial now it's in East Colonial even in Waterford Lakes I'm starting to wonder if it's going to get as bad as California

[@siamiam4306]

The 528 needs to be repurposed. It's a city planning nightmare.

[@ladyjane8855]

The north part of I Drive is disgusting. The strip malls between Sand Lake and the Outlets need to be bulldozed and the area redeveloped. They've done a great job heading south towards the convention center (although I still miss the Mercado!) but the north is seedy.

[@jcssp8184]

Nice video and thx for the update. What about Alafaya area? We are looking for relocation to Orlando area and seeking affordable housing. It sure about Alafaya because although it is close the MCO but I feel is too far for everything else.

[@joeysaunz]

We have relatives in Alafaya and Avalon. Now that the 528 goes all the way out there it is so much better plus the 417 used to be a lovely quiet “back road” but I guess that will get busier as conurbations spring up .

[@jcssp8184]

@@joeysaunz thx !! What about the neighborhood? I side of a community should be good, but is the outside a nice and safe place?

[@noneofyourbz4007]

elevate downtown for experience, lol ... would need a natural disaster

[@AtlanticMediaManagement]

Are non maga safe in Orlando? We are not where I live in NC. Im still stuck on a 40 year dream of moving that way regardless.

[@NormanAllan53]

So far NEOCITY is a dud for Osceola County. Locals have no idea what's going on over there and there is virtually no attempt to alleviate traffic along highway 192. There are homes being built but none in the actual NEOCITY. If you want to work in that area anticipate hours of extra driving, few new shopping opportunities and huge numbers of current residents complaining about what seems like out of control growth. The county says they are managing controlled growth but very few believe that.

[@olicoasters]

Just for the record… road widening ≠ less traffic. It’s a Bandaid that quickly unsticks itself

[@tylermartin3633]

Ken, wondering if you’ve heard anything about Lifetime Fitness in Winter Park?

[@acpaudio1782]

This Wolf Branch idea sucks! Stop urban sprawl and build vertical instead. Leave rural areas rural. Not everyone wants developer-built zero lot line communities with BS HOA's. Please leave Apopka alone. Ugh....

[@aCozyManatee]

Bittersweet. All the development but all the wild Florida being lost

[@chepis7893]

Very nice vid thanks glad to know about all this roads projects 😊

[@PizzaPizza_99]

Neo City is in Kissimmee not St. Cloud

[@3103Juan]

I love the train or tram from universal to the new universal park. Oh wait! They rather but more buses and car on sandlake & John young 🤦‍♂️ looks good on paper but will be a mess. Work 3 blocks from I-drive & in front of the new epic universe. Hopefully they will put a monorail system.

[@kenpozek]

They are actually. Well it’s more like a closed loop bus system around idrive for workers and tourists alike

[@heigh-hojourneys4946]

What in the crap is going on with Olympus lol it appears to keep getting delayed

[@kenpozek]

Saw some trucks moving dirt. Feels like a ton of homes and not a lot of commercial just yet.

[@terrancecooley3165]

@@kenpozek also for some reason the downtown Orlando area is always getting delayed too especially with the Orlando magic project.
