The Florida Department of Transportation (FDOT) is conducting a corridor planning study to assess alternative alignments for a multi-use trail from Levy Hammock Road to U.S. 17, approximately 27 miles. At this third Project Visioning Team (PVT) meeting, the project team will provide a brief overview of the results of the public meeting (informational open house) held on January 24, 2019, review the two alternatives under consideration and discuss the next steps for the study.

Your interest in this study is truly valued and appreciated. This is a working meeting with the FDOT staff and PVT members, which is open to public attendance.
