School district and county debate Wimbledon Avenue reroute and right‑of‑way vacation; mobile‑home‑park consent stalls plan
Summary
Hernando County School District staff outlined a plan to reroute Wimbledon Avenue across newly purchased district parcels near Weeki Wachee/Winding Waters. County estimates placed paving at about $4 million; staff said the proposal is complicated by a mobile‑home park's unresponsive ownership and drainage (DRA) constraints.
District staff presented a conceptual plan to reroute Wimbledon Avenue near the Weeki Wachee / Winding Waters campus after the school district acquired two parcels (5- and 10-acre tracts) east of the road.
The concept discussed would vacate a narrow county right‑of‑way adjacent to district property and create a new alignment that runs through district land and exits at Eakin Street. Presenters said the change would shorten the paving footprint, make the district property contiguous for safety and campus planning, and could reduce paving cost if the district dedicates the vacated strip to the county.
