Roads, Traffic & Safer Mobility
Focus on road ownership, crash data, congestion, speeding, intersections, sidewalks, and practical mobility improvements.
The Concern
Traffic congestion, speeding, intersection design, roundabouts, unsafe crossings, and gaps in sidewalks are recurring quality-of-life concerns.
What Deltona Can Actually Control
Deltona controls some local streets and capital projects, while many major corridors belong to Volusia County or FDOT. The Commissioner can vote on City projects and funding while advocating and coordinating on roads controlled by other agencies.
My Current Commitment
I will identify who owns each problem road, use crash and speed data where available, and work for the highest-value safety and congestion improvements rather than pretending the City controls every roadway.
Proposed Actions
- Publish a District 6 road-ownership and recurring-problem map.
- Prioritize safety improvements using crash, speed, pedestrian, and school-route data.
- Coordinate with Volusia County, FDOT, and the River to Sea TPO on major corridors.
- Track planned road and sidewalk projects against actual completion dates.
Research Still Needed
Road ownership, crash history, speed studies, intersection projects, sidewalk gaps, signal timing, County/FDOT work programs, and capital funding.
