Residents of Winter Garden's Verde Park say the Florida Turnpike expansion has increased noise and caused property damage after trees were removed and traffic became more visible.

A proposed master plan to modernize Orlando's Leu Gardens is facing opposition from nearby residents concerned about increased traffic, noise, and commercial activity. The plan includes a new visitor center, lakefront dining and retail, an outdoor pavilion, a children's garden, and expanded parking.

The plan remains conceptual, with public feedback being sought at a community meeting before any final decisions are made.
