FDOT Public Hearing: County Road 470 Project Development & Environment Study

Posted on April 4, 2017

Project limits are from C.R. 527 to Florida’s Turnpike in Sumter and Lake Counties

The Florida Department of Transportation (FDOT), is hosting a public hearing regarding the Project Development & Environment (PD&E) study for County Road (C.R.) 470, at 5:30 p.m. Wednesday, April 12, at Lake Panasoffkee Recreation Park East Wing Meeting Room located at 1589 County Road 459, Lake Panasoffkee, Florida 33538.
The study limits are along C.R. 470 from C.R.527 to Florida’s Turnpike in Sumter and Lake Counties, which extends 10.6 miles. The proposed widening of C.R. 470 improves capacity, enhances safety, and provides for long-term mobility needs within the study corridor. This involves a localized realignment to create a continuous C.R. 470 corridor intersecting US 301 in a single location. The recommended improvements also require a portion of SR 471 to be reoriented following the C-528 corridor south of Sumter State College. http://c-470study.com/
The hearing will begin as an open house at, with a formal presentation at 6:00 p.m.
The purpose of this public hearing is to present the recommendations of the PD&E Study, and to receive public comment. The concept to be presented reflects public input received at the Alternatives Public Meeting held in June of 2016, as well as detailed engineering and environmental evaluations that have been performed to provide the documentation information necessary for FDOT to reach a decision on the type, design, and location of the improvements. The hearing also includes planned location, design and operation of driveways, side street connections, median openings, and traffic signals.
