Project Description: Evaluate multimodal deficiencies, needs and possible enhancements along State Road (S.R.) 507 (Babcock Street) from Palm Bay Road to U.S. 192 (New Haven Avenue).

The FDOT is conducting a corridor planning study for Babcock Street from Palm Bay Road to U.S. 192, a distance of approximately 3 miles. This project will be coordinated with local and regional agency partners with the purpose of evaluating an assessment of multimodal deficiencies, needs and potential context sensitive improvements along the corridor. The PVT is an advisory group (not an independent decision-making board) that will assist the FDOT and the consultant team by providing jurisdictional, policy, technical, and administrative guidance throughout the project. Your interest in this study is truly valued and appreciated. This is a working meeting with the FDOT staff and PVT members, which is open to public attendance.

This PVT meeting will include a brief presentation to review the existing conditions and future needs, as well as key corridor issues and opportunities. The PVT members will discuss and confirm the draft guiding principles, purpose and need, and performance measures to be used for evaluating alternative solutions. The Study Team will also facilitate an exercise to begin brainstorming potential future scenarios and methodologies for testing these scenarios. Comment cards will be provided for any questions or comments regarding this study by the public, otherwise the public may contact the study team before or after the meeting.
