GENERAL SUBJECT MATTER TO BE CONSIDERED: The Florida Department of Transportation (FDOT) District One is conducting a Project Development and Environment (PD&E) study, and will host a public meeting about the proposed extension to the Fort Fraser Trail from SR 540 (Winter Lake Road) to SR 659 (Combee Road) in Polk County, Florida. The meeting will be an open house format from 5:00 p.m. to 7:00 p.m. FDOT encourages interested parties to attend this meeting at any time to review the proposed trail improvement alternatives. FDOT representatives will be available during the meeting to informally discuss the project and answer questions. This meeting is to allow interested persons an opportunity to express their views concerning the alternatives of the proposed extension to the Fort Fraser Trail. The proposed extension north of SR 540 will improve the safety conditions for bicyclists and pedestrians utilizing the US 98 (Bartow Highway) corridor north of SR 540, provide residents and visitors a new opportunity for active recreation, and give commuters a new non-motorized travel option along the US 98 corridor.
