  • Camping World Stadium Improvements: Church Street remains closed between Tampa Avenue and Rio Grande Avenue as part of the ongoing stadium reimagining project. Motorists are advised to follow posted detours.

Ongoing Infrastructure and Utility Projects

The following long-term construction projects are active and will impact local transit today:

Public Health and Safety Advisories

The City and regional health officials have issued the following advisories for Sunday:

  • Fire Weather Warning: Due to an extended period of dry air and a lack of significant rainfall since late last year, a fire weather advisory is in effect. Residents are urged to avoid outdoor burning as the risk for rapid fire spread is elevated.
  • Coastal Safety: While dry air persists inland, health officials warn of a high risk of rip currents at nearby Atlantic beaches. Those traveling to the coast should only swim near a lifeguard.
  • Respiratory Health: The Florida Department of Health continues to encourage standard hygiene practices, including frequent handwashing and staying home if symptomatic, to mitigate the spread of seasonal respiratory illnesses.

Upcoming City Council Business

Looking ahead to Monday, February 9, 2026, the Orlando City Council will convene at 2:00 p.m. at City Hall. Notable items on the agenda include a public hearing regarding the issuance of redevelopment revenue bonds for downtown improvements and a resolution to vacate approximately 91 feet of West Illiana Street.
