DATE AND TIMES: Thursday, May 30, 2019, 5:00 p.m. Open House; 6:00 p.m. formal presentation

PLACE: Winter Springs Civic Center, 400 N. Edgemon Ave., Winter Springs, FL 32708

GENERAL SUBJECT MATTER TO BE CONSIDERED: Financial Project Identification (FPID) No.: 991900-6

The Florida Department of Transportation (FDOT) will hold a public hearing about proposed plans to improve safety on U.S. 17/92 (State Road (S.R.) 15) at the intersection with the southern leg of Piney Ridge Road by installing a raised concrete traffic separator between the northbound travel lanes and the crosswalk. Based on a qualitative assessment conducted at this location in February 2019, it was recommended that the northbound right turn movement at the intersection be restricted, but traffic exiting the southern leg of Piney Ridge Road onto U.S. 17/92 will still be able to turn right. This modification improves safety in the area by reducing the number of conflict points at this location.

The public hearing will be Thursday, May 30, 2019, at the Winter Springs Civic Center, 400 N. Edgemon Ave., Winter Springs, FL 32708. The hearing will begin as an informational open house at 5:00 p.m. where displays and other project information will be available for review. Staff also will be available to discuss the project and answer questions. A presentation will begin at 6:00 p.m., followed by public comments.

A court reporter will be present to record proceedings, and assist with comments, as part of the project record. Written comments can be submitted at the hearing, sent by mail to Dave Mixon, Florida Department of Transportation, 719 S. Woodland Boulevard M.S. 562, DeLand, FL 32720; or emailed to [e-mail] no later than Monday, June 10, 2019. All written and oral comments will become part of the project’s public record.
