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 proposed median changes on S.R. 674 (Sun City Center Boulevard) at the following locations:

• Proposed modification of the existing full median opening at East Del Webb Boulevard. The existing median opening will become directional providing S.R. 674 eastbound traffic access to East Del Webb Boulevard by a left turn lane in the median. Motorists on East Del Webb Boulevard will no longer be able to directly access eastbound S.R. 674.

• The existing full median opening at El Rancho Drive/Stoneham Drive will become a signalized intersection.

Other improvements include extending the existing S.R. 674 westbound left turn lane at El Rancho Drive/Stoneham Drive; extending the existing sidewalks at East Del Webb Boulevard to the intersection; pedestrian sidewalk enhancements including pedestrian crosswalks; and upgrading curbs to Americans with Disabilities (ADA) standards.

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.
