By a 3-2 vote, the Lake County Board of County Commissioners on May 21, 2013 adopted the Florida Department of Transportation's recommended realignment alternative for CR 46A on Wekiva Parkway Section 5. Known as Alternative 2, the realignment features improvements to the preferred alignment in the Project Development and Environmental (PD&E) Study, which was approved by the Federal Highway Administration in May 2012. The improvements include lowering the CR 46A profile where possible by as much as eight feet to minimize noise and visual impacts to nearby community members; minimizing impacts on the north end of the realignment to the adjacent community's entrance; removing the T-intersection at SR 46 and creating a free-flowing CR 46A connection to SR 46; and, nudging the alignment slightly farther east from the nearest community home.
