GENERAL SUBJECT MATTER TO BE CONSIDERED: The Florida Department of Transportation (FDOT) will have a public meeting for the State Road 200 (SW College Road) design project. The project limits extend from SW 38th Court to SW 36th Avenue. The improvements in this interchange area include: adding a left turn lane for westbound SW College Road leading to the I-75 southbound on-ramp, adding a left turn lane for eastbound SW College Road leading to the I-75 northbound on-ramp, adding a second right turn lane to the I-75 northbound off-ramp, adding a second left turn lane to the I-75 northbound off-ramp, adding a right turn lane for eastbound SW College Road leading to the I-75 southbound on-ramp, and extending and widening the right turn lane for westbound SW College Road leading to the I-75 northbound on-ramp. These improvements will take place within existing right-of-way, so no additional right-of-way is needed. Construction is funded for this project for Fiscal Year 2018.
