GENERAL SUBJECT MATTER TO BE CONSIDERED: Financial Project Identification (FPID) Nos.: 437544-1 and 439235-1

The Florida Department of Transportation (FDOT) will hold a public hearing about proposed plans to improve safety on State Road (S.R.) 551 (Goldenrod Road) as well as resurfacing from S.R. 15 (Hoffner Avenue) to S.R. 552 (Curry Ford Road), and from S.R. 50 (East Colonial Drive) to S.R. 426 (Aloma Avenue). Additional proposed improvements consist of:

• Converting the full median opening at Old Goldenrod Road to a directional opening, which allows southbound vehicles on Goldenrod Road to make a left turn onto Old Goldenrod Road, but westbound vehicles from Old Goldenrod Road will be limited to right turn only.

• Providing left turn access on Goldenrod Road for emergency vehicles from St. Florian Way.

• Converting the full median opening at Sun Key Boulevard/Waunatta Court to a northbound/southbound directional opening that provides an area for only one direction of traffic to make a left turn onto Sun Key Boulevard/Waunatta Court; however, traffic from Sun Key Boulevard/Waunatta Court will only be able to turn right onto Goldenrod Road.

• Installing a new traffic signal at the intersection of North Palmetto Avenue and North Goldenrod Road.

The public hearing will be Tuesday, January 29, 2019, at the Orlando Wesleyan Church, 1665 N. Chickasaw Trail, Orlando, FL 32825.
