GENERAL SUBJECT MATTER TO BE CONSIDERED: The Florida Department of Transportation (FDOT) invites you to attend a public information meeting concerning the proposed development of an Action Plan for State Road (S.R.) 750 (Airport Boulevard) from S.R. 8A (I-110) to the Pensacola International Airport (North 12th Avenue) in Escambia County, Florida. The meeting will be held Tuesday, January 6, 2015 from 5:30 p.m. to 6:30 p.m. CST, at the Hilton Garden Inn, 1144 Airport Boulevard, Pensacola. There will be no formal presentation; however, an open house format with an informational video will be provided. The intent of this meeting will be to provide current information on the project process and schedule. Representatives from FDOT will be available to discuss the project, answer questions, and receive comments. The purpose of the Action Plan is to guide the development of a multi-modal transportation system that will serve the transportation needs of the corridor; provide for the efficient and effective movement of freight, and foster economic growth and development in the region. The plan will also seek enhancement of regional mobility, while minimizing other environmental impacts that might occur from roadway construction. The intent of the plan is to define and recommend improvements to bring S.R. 750 (Airport Boulevard) into compliance with the Strategic Intermodal System (SIS) Standards of the FDOT, as well as to analyze alternatives to preserve the traffic level of service in the study area through the year 2040.

State Road 750 (Airport Boulevard) is currently designated as a SIS Connector from I-110 to the Pensacola International Airport (North 12th Avenue). The alternatives have been analyzed and two recommendations are being considered. The first is to improve the infrastructure along the S.R. 750 corridor to be compliant with the Americans with Disabilities Act (ADA). The second is the reconstruction of the S.R. 750 corridor utilizing a raised median based on the Administrative Rules for an Access Class 5 roadway.
