Church Street Redevelopment

Exciting transformations are on the horizon for downtown Orlando as part of ongoing efforts to improve mobility and support local businesses. The Orlando City Council has approved a significant initiative to transform the downtown streetscape, particularly focusing on West Church Street near the SunRail station. This area will be repositioned as a “festival street” in several phases, with initial improvements starting soon. The project aims to create a lively space for events, attracting more visitors and boosting the local economy.

Guided by the Community Redevelopment Agency’s DTOutlook and Project DTO 2.0, the initiative reflects a strong commitment to making downtown Orlando a thriving, connected community for everyone. The city’s plan includes investments to enhance pedestrian accessibility and cultivate a festival-like atmosphere. Renderings of the changes were shared by the Downtown Development Board, offering a glimpse of the vibrant future ahead for the area.
