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.

FDOT Public Hearing for US 92 from County Line Road to Wabash Avenue in Polk County

Posted on April 4, 2017

The Florida Department of Transportation (FDOT), District One, is holding a public hearing for the US 92 Project Development and Environment (PD&E) study from County Line Road to Wabash Avenue in Polk County.
FDOT is studying the proposed widening of US 92 from two to four lanes to accommodate increased traffic demand generated by projected economic growth in Polk County. Additional right-of-way, or property, is needed to accommodate widening US 92 and for stormwater management ponds. Existing access to properties along US 92 will change due to the addition of a median, a result of widening the road. US 92 currently falls under Access Management Classification 3 from County Line Road to Airport Road/Galloway Road and Access Management Classification 5 from Airport Road/Galloway Road to Wabash Avenue. FDOT proposes to change the existing Access Management Classification from Access Class 3 to Access Class 5 from County Line Road to Airport Road/Galloway Road. These changes are presented in compliance with Section 335.199 Florida Statutes (Transportation projects modifying access to adjacent property). The no-build alternative, where no improvements other than routine maintenance are made to US 92 through 2040, will remain viable throughout the remainder of this study.
The public hearing will be:
Date: Thursday, April 13, 2017
Time: 5 p.m. Open house
6 p.m. Formal presentation and public comment period
Location: The Lakeland Center, Lake Hollingsworth Ballroom
701 W Lime St
Lakeland, FL 33815
Please use Gate 6 to park in the Red Lot behind the Jenkins Arena and inform the gate staff that you are attending the public hearing. The closest building entrance to the hearing is Entrance 2. Project staff will display plans and answer questions about proposed widening alternative for US 92. FDOT solicits public participation without regard to race, color, national origin, age, sex, religion, disability, or family status. The environmental review, consultation, and other actions required by applicable federal environmental laws for this project are being, or have been, carried out by FDOT pursuant to 23 U.S.C. §327 and a Memorandum of Understanding dated December 14, 2016 and executed by the Federal Highway Administration and FDOT.
