Largo Engineering Services regularly monitors roadway conditions to ensure the safety and sustainability of travel along local roads. In 2019, a City-wide pavement assessment determined that the roadway along Gladys Street from the intersection at Dryer Avenue to Wilcox Road needs complete rehabilitation. We are reaching out to local community members to better understand the current use of the roadway and input on potential improvements. The responses to this survey will help to understand the current use of the roadway and perspective on potential improvements including which proposed traffic calming method would be preferred by residents. The survey should take 10-15 minutes to complete and closes October 26. We appreciate your input!
