New Stoplight Proposed in Oakland Area of Lee County

- Advertisement -

Developers with Oakland Plantation are making big plans in West Lee County. Some construction efforts have already begun.

The sizable development is located near the intersection of US Hwy 82 and Oakland Crossing Drive. Only one commercial operation has opened in this area so far, which is the Splash Zone Express car wash.

That will change soon enough as excavators and construction equipment are already on part of the site, preparing the ground ahead of building construction.

The Stoplight Proposal

According to the sign posted at the intersection of US 82 and Oakland Crossing Drive, a stoplight to help deal with traffic into and out of the area has already been proposed. This would be primarily helpful in aiding with reducing traffic speed along the highway.

A handful of parcels are shown as available to be developed, according to the sign documentation. However, this may have changed with the current construction efforts.

A conceptual design of a large store in the center of the complex is shown in the renderings, but there is no word on what would actually be potentially built there.

Land Divisions

Much of the land is divided into outparcels sized between around 1 acre and 1.5 acres. The concept design’s outlook describes the land as a handful of individual land parcels that surround a larger storefront with a large parking lot.

While construction is in progress on some parts of the site, official future location names have not been publicly noted.
