GENERAL SUBJECT MATTER TO BE CONSIDERED: A VPH for the SR 566 (Thonotosassa Road) proposed median modification in the vicinity of the eastbound I-4 exit ramp, FPN: 425503-2, Hillsborough County, Florida. The project limits are from south of Townsgate Court to north of I-4.

If you plan to participate over the internet, advance registration is required. Once registered, you will receive a confirmation email containing information about joining the VPH. The VPH will open at 10:00 a.m., and the project presentation will start promptly at 10:15 a.m. Please allow adequate time for log-in. After the PowerPoint presentation has concluded, there will be an opportunity for participants at both viewing locations, and those online, to provide verbal comments to be included in the official VPH record. After the verbal portion of the VPH has concluded, the project PowerPoint presentation will be shown continuously for the duration of the VPH.

This VPH is conducted to afford affected property and business owners, interested persons, local governments, and organizations the opportunity to provide comments to FDOT, District Seven, regarding the potential effects of the proposed median change to SR 566 in the vicinity of the eastbound I-4 exit ramp. The existing median opening across from Starbucks will be closed to allow the northbound U-turn lane at the I-4 eastbound exit ramp and the southbound left turn lane at Townsgate Court to be lengthened. The eastbound I-4 exit ramp at this intersection will become signalized to provide for the U-turn at this location.

Other proposed improvements include the realignment of the eastbound I-4 exit ramp and the construction of a dual right and single left turn at this intersection. Additionally, the road will be resurfaced and sidewalks constructed on both sides of the roadway, within the above stated project limits.

This VPH is held pursuant to Chapters 120, 335.18, and 335.199, Florida Statutes. FDOT, District Seven, will receive verbal and written comments online and at each VPH location. Written comments not received at the hearing can be emailed to [e-mail] ATTN: VPH # 425503-2, or mailed to: Brian L. Shroyer, CPM, Project Manager, FDOT, District Seven, 11201 N. McKinley Drive, MS 7-600, Tampa, FL 33612. All comments must be emailed or postmarked by November 10, 2014 to become part of the official VPH record.
