Displays will show plans to widen I-75 from four to six lanes within the existing median of I-75, construct minor on-ramp improvements to the Toledo Blade Boulevard and Sumter Boulevard interchanges and add sidewalks along Toledo Blade Boulevard and Sumter Boulevard within the interchange limits.

The department sent notices to all property owners and interested people located at least 300 feet on either side of I-75 within the project limits.
