The Constitution Revision Commission today announced that a public hearing tentatively scheduled for June 22nd in Central Florida has been postponed due to scheduling conflicts. The public hearing will be rescheduled for a future date.
Chairman Carlos Beruff, said, “We are actively working to reschedule this public hearing for a future date. I believe it is important that we schedule public hearings on dates which allow a majority of Commissioners to attend, especially considering that hundreds of Floridians take time out of their personal schedules to have the opportunity to speak before a full Commission.”
The Constitution Revision Commission will announce future public hearing dates and locations as soon as possible. All public hearings and meetings are noticed on the official CRC website, flcrc.gov. To watch previous public hearings and meetings held by the CRC, visit the Florida Channel’s website which has a page dedicated to all CRC public hearings and meetings.

Public hearing for PD&E study in Polk County
Public Hearing for US 98/John Singletary Bridge Project Development and Environment
(PD&E) From west of Edgewood Drive to east of the Fort Meade Recreation Area Entrance
The Florida Department of Transportation (FDOT), District One, is holding a public hearing for the US 98/John Singletary Bridge Project Development and Environment (PD&E) study from west of Edgewood Drive to east of the Fort Meade Recreation Area Entrance in Polk County, Florida.
The proposed improvements consist of replacing the existing bridge with a new bridge that meets current FDOT design standards and accommodates pedestrian and bicycle facilities. This public hearing is being conducted to give interested persons an opportunity to express their views concerning the location, conceptual design, and social, economic, and environmental effects of the proposed improvements.
The existing bridge (Bridge No. 160064) has been determined to be a significant historic bridge according to the Section 106 process of the National Historic Preservation Act (NHPA) of 1966 (36 CFR Part 800); however, based on an evaluation of all PD&E Study alternatives, it is not feasible to keep the historic bridge in place. Several mitigation options are being evaluated. The proposed improvements require the replacement of the National Register of Historic Places eligible US 98/John Singletary Bridge. As part of the project development process and in accordance with Section 4(f) of the Department of Transportation Act of 1966 and Section 106 of the NHPA, FDOT is seeking comments and input from the public, interested parties, and governmental agencies concerning the effects of the project on the activities, features, and attributes of this resource and the mitigation options under consideration for the proposed impacts. FDOT intends to make a programmatic Section 4(f) impact determination on this resource.
The public hearing will be:
Date: Thursday, May 18, 2017
Time: 5 p.m. Open house
6 p.m. Formal presentation and public comment period
Location: Fort Meade Mobile Home Park Activity Center
