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

DATE AND TIME: Wednesday, April 5, 2018, 5:30 p.m.

PLACE: 2040 Park 82 Drive, Fort Myers, Florida 33905

GENERAL SUBJECT MATTER TO BE CONSIDERED: The FDOT District One will be hosting a Public Information Workshop relating to the roadway improvements for the Buc-ee’s development, located on the southwest quadrant of I-75 and S.R. 82 (Martin Luther King Jr. Blvd), the department is requiring the existing full median opening that is located approximately 1100 feet west of the intersection of S.R. 82 at the I-75 Southbound ramps to be modified to a directional median opening. This median configuration will allow left turns into the proposed connection on the south side (westbound to southbound), while prohibiting left turns out from the side streets (northbound to westbound and southbound to eastbound). Park 82 Drive/Watts Road will be limited to right in/right out movements. Left hand turns out of and into Park 82 Drive/Watts Road will no longer be allowed.

As part of these changes, Buc-ee's will be responsible for completing Old lmmokalee Road inside an existing unconstructed right-of-way within Park 82. This will allow a direct connection between Park 82 Drive and Ortiz Avenue and is expected to be completed within the next 24 months. The connection to Ortiz Avenue will be unsignalized and allow traffic leaving the Park 82 complex to make a left-hand movement onto Ortiz Avenue and then a left turn onto S.R. 82 for access to I-75.

The workshop will begin with an open house format led by Buc-ee’s with FDOT staff available to answer questions and provide assistance. A presentation will follow at 6:00 p.m.
