SunRail Orlando, Florida

SunRail (Central Florida Commuter Rail Transit) covers a 61-mile stretch of existing rail freight tracks through the heart of Central Florida. The Phase One system serves three counties, linking Deland to Poinciana. Dix.Hite was responsible for the site plan coordination, pedestrian circulation, landscape, hardscape, and irrigation design, public art design and selection, and wayfinding for Phases One and Two. The landscape palette focuses on native plant material and was determined by evaluating existing soils and historic vegetative communities. The first Phase of SunRail opened in 2014, the second in 2018, and the system continues to grow and improve.
