GENERAL SUBJECT MATTER TO BE CONSIDERED: The Florida Department of Transportation, District Seven invites you to attend and participate in a public hearing regarding the reevaluation of the PD&E Study for Work Program Segment Item No. 411014-1 which includes improvements to Interstate 75 (I-75) from north of S.R. 52 to south of C.R. 476B in Pasco, Hernando, and Sumter Counties. The planned changes are documented in a Design Change and Advance to Right of Way Acquisition Reevaluation. This action includes the construction plans for the following Financial Project ID Nos.

PURPOSE: This public hearing is being held to afford interested persons the opportunity to express their views concerning the location, conceptual design, and social, economic, and environmental effects of the proposed improvements to I-75. The study evaluated engineering and environmental effects associated with widening the road from four lanes to eight lanes and improvements to the interchange at S.R. 50. Right-of-way acquisition is proposed for this project. Potential encroachments on wetlands and floodplains may be given special consideration under Executive Orders 11990 and 11988. Draft project documents and preliminary plans for the I-75 improvements will be available for public review at the hearing location on the night of the hearing.
