Ribbon cutting set for West Park Avenue widening 

Posted On: February 24, 2020

District Three Volusia County Council Member Deb Denys will cut the ribbon for the newly widened portion of West Park Avenue 9 a.m. Friday, Feb. 28, at 2051 West Park Ave. in Edgewater. 

The $4.18 million project widened a 1.2-mile portion of West Park Avenue between Old Mission Road and Massey Ranch Road in Edgewater from two to three lanes. Five-foot paved shoulders and storm water management were also incorporated in the project. 

“The addition of a continuous turn lane on West Park Avenue not only allows for easier movement, but also creates a safer environment for drivers,” said Denys. “Recognizing our continued economic growth in Edgewater, this project will also help to alleviate traffic buildup on a popular stretch of roadway.”

The project was funded by Volusia County local option gas tax dollars, with a contribution from the City of Edgewater to cover utility costs. John Massey, owner of Massey Ranch Airpark, donated right of way to facilitate completion of the expansion.
