The City of Eustis, through its Strategic Planning completed on 2007, established a vision for the City as a friendly hometown, a community for families, and a destination for arts and culture.  Specifically the vision for Downtown Eustis is imagined as a thriving downtown that capitalizes on its unique waterfront and has quality neighborhoods, and is a home for small businesses.

The Study Area
The study area for this planning effort will be bounded by where State Road 19 splits to the North, East Lakeview Avenue to the South, Lake Eustis to the West, and Exeter Street to the East.  The study area is primarily focused on the downtown core, the waterfront, and the one-way pair of Bay Street and Grove Street (State Road 19/44).

The Goal

The goal of this project, the Downtown Eustis Implementation Plan, is to identify the physical and economic opportunities and challenges associated with the study area and develop plans and strategies to marry the City’s vision with the physical and economic opportunities.  This planning and urban design effort is intended to provide a broad foundation for planning, regulatory and economic principles that are appropriate for the City of Eustis’s downtown and its surrounding neighborhoods.

Traffic & Pedestrian Study

In conjunction with the Downtown Master Plan, the Lake-Sumter Metropolitan Planning Organization (MPO) has recently completed the Downtown Traffic and Pedestrian Circulation Study.  This project was a coordination of efforts between the Lake-Sumter MPO, City of Eustis, Florida Department of Transportation, and Tindale-Oliver and Associates, Inc.
