The Florida Department of Transportation, District One, announces a public meeting to which all persons are invited.

DATE AND TIME: Tuesday, December 11, 2018, 5:00 p.m. – 7:00 p.m.

PLACE: Robert L. Taylor Community Complex building at 1845 34th Street, Sarasota, Florida, 34234.

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 information meeting about the proposed improvements to, and between, the intersections of US 41 at Dr. Martin Luther King (MLK) Jr. Way and US 41 at Myrtle Street in the City of Sarasota, Florida. The meeting will be an open house format with a video presentation playing continuously throughout the meeting. FDOT encourages interested parties to attend this meeting at any time to review the proposed roadway improvement alternatives. FDOT representatives will be available during the meeting to informally discuss the project and answer questions. This meeting is being held to allow interested persons an opportunity to be informed and provide comments concerning the location; conceptual design alternatives; and social, economic, and environmental effects of the proposed project for US 41 intersection improvements at Dr. MLK Jr. Way & Myrtle Street. The purpose of this project is to enhance safety, non-motorized connectivity, and access, as well as vehicular traffic flow and operations, between residences and schools of the northern Downtown Sarasota area and the Bayfront area. The proposed improvements are similar to safety and traffic flow improvements at other intersections along US 41.

The environmental review, consultation, and other actions required by applicable federal environmental laws for this project are being, or have been, carried-out by FDOT pursuant to 23 U.S.C. §327 and a Memorandum of Understanding dated December 14, 2016, and executed by FHWA and FDOT.
