The Hanson Street extension from Veronica S. Shoemaker Boulevard to Ortiz Avenue is open, including two landscaped roundabouts at the intersections with Veronica S. Shoemaker Boulevard and Ortiz Avenue. The extension provides the city with a fourth and more centralized east-west corridor between McGregor Boulevard and Ortiz Avenue. Industrial businesses located on or near Hanson Street will now be able to use this extension, keeping industrial traffic off neighborhood roads. Part of the City’s “Complete Streets” initiative, the Hanson Street Extension bike lanes and sidewalks will provide pedestrians and bicyclists with safe connections to the Ortiz Avenue and Six Mile Cypress Parkway multi-use paths and multiple parks, trails and wildlife preserves with easy access.
