GENERAL SUBJECT MATTER TO BE CONSIDERED: The Florida Department of Transportation (FDOT) invites you to attend a public hearing regarding a Project Development and Environment (PD&E) Study on I-95 from J. Turner Butler (JTB) to Atlantic Boulevard in Duval County to which all persons are invited.

This segment of I-95 experiences peak period congestion due to demand that exceeds capacity.  With expectations of continued traffic congestion, the purpose of this PD&E study is to evaluate the addition of express lanes in order to provide capacity improvements and relieve congestion. Express lanes are an innovative concept to manage traffic congestion and provide choices for motorists. These additional lanes will provide more capacity in areas where traffic congestion is a major problem. The study will also examine all interchanges regarding safety and operational improvements as well as proposed pond locations.

Two previous public meetings were held on April 26, 2017 and August 3, 2017 to seek feedback regarding the I-95 Express Lanes project and the proposed transportation improvements.  The purpose of the public hearing is to provide information on the study’s findings, discuss the recommended alternative, and once again receive your input. Project information will be available for review on March 14, 2018 at the FDOT Urban Office (2198 Edison Avenue, Jacksonville, FL 32204) or at the Jacksonville Southeast Public Library (10599 Deerwood Park Boulevard, Jacksonville, FL 32256). Persons wishing to submit written comments may do so at the hearing or mail / email them to Michael Brock ([e-mail] or 1109 S Marion Avenue, MS 2007, Lake City, FL 32025-5874) no later than April 14, 2018.
