on roadways in some cases, such as along Lockwood Boulevard through a narrowing <strong>of</strong><br />

the travel lanes.<br />

BLOS and PLOS grades can also be used to determine area deficiencies. The<br />

METROPLAN ORLANDO <strong>2025</strong> LRTP recommended the following minimum level <strong>of</strong><br />

service standards region-wide:<br />

• LOS B for those roadway segments with a latent demand score <strong>of</strong> 61 or higher<br />

(i.e., roadway segments with a high potential for bicycling or walking trips; none<br />

<strong>of</strong> the <strong>Oviedo</strong> roadway segments evaluated received a latent demand score <strong>of</strong> 61<br />

or higher)<br />

• LOS C for those roadway segments with a latent demand score <strong>of</strong> 0 to 60 (i.e.,<br />

roadway segments with a low to moderate potential for trips to be made by<br />

walking or bicycling)<br />

• The exception to the above standards is that the LOS for all state roadways is set<br />

at D<br />

It is recommended that the <strong>City</strong> adopt the<br />

METROPLAN ORLANDO standards for BLOS<br />

and PLOS – all non-state roadways would be<br />

subject to BLOS and PLOS standards <strong>of</strong> “C”,<br />

and all state roadways would be subject to<br />

standards <strong>of</strong> “D”.<br />

Other pedestrian-related deficiencies noted at<br />

some intersections within the <strong>City</strong> include the<br />

following:<br />

• Lack <strong>of</strong> pedestrian signal indications at<br />

signalized intersections<br />

• Lack <strong>of</strong> crosswalks<br />

• Poor accommodation for disabled persons (ADA)<br />

• Poor lighting<br />

• Poor maintenance<br />

The SR 434/SR 426/CR 419 intersection<br />

in Downtown <strong>Oviedo</strong> does not provide<br />

pedestrian signals, crosswalks, or ramps<br />

or breaks in the directional island.<br />

• Overly wide intersection crossing distances (overly wide corner radii can<br />

contribute to this)<br />

5.7 Addressing Gaps & Deficiencies<br />

As discussed previously, the supply side BLOS and PLOS results can be combined with<br />

the latent demand score results to provide an evaluation <strong>of</strong> the high priority bicycle and<br />

pedestrian projects; that is, the collector and arterial roadway segments with the poorest<br />
