GENERAL SUBJECT MATTER TO BE CONSIDERED: On behalf of the Florida Department of Transportation (FDOT) District Four, you and your staff are invited to the Project Update Webinars for the Project Development and Environment (PD&E) Studies for the above referenced projects. These webinars are a combined event for these two separate PD&E studies. A PD&E study is FDOT's process to evaluate the social, economic and environmental impacts associated with a planned transportation improvement project. The purpose of the SW 10th Street Connector is to improve connectivity and safety between Florida's Turnpike/Sawgrass Expressway and I-95. The purpose of the I 95 project is to eliminate various existing operational and safety deficiencies along I-95 between and including the interchanges at SW 10th Street and Hillsboro Boulevard. The purpose of this workshop is to give interested persons an opportunity to comment and provide input on the refined transportation improvement alternatives.

The environmental review, consultation, and other actions required by applicable federal environmental laws for this project are being, or have been, carried out by FDOT pursuant to 23 U.S.C.327 and a Memorandum of Understanding dated December 14, 2016 and executed by the Federal Highway Administration (FHWA) and FDOT.

The webinars will provide an update on the projects and changes since the last Alternatives Public Workshop and will be offered on three different days. The project corridor has been divided into three geographic areas or zones, described below. The intent of the three webinars is to present the same content but each tailored to specific geographic areas and concerns along the corridor.

The Project Update Webinars will be held on the following days and times:

• Webinar #1 - Thursday, June 18, 7:00 p.m. – 8:30 p.m.

o Zone 1 – from the Turnpike / Sawgrass Expressway interchange to Powerline Road

• Webinar #2 - Monday, June 29, 7:00 p.m. – 8:30 p.m.

o Zone 2 – from Powerline Road to East of Military Trail

• Webinar #3 - Wednesday, July 1, 7:00 p.m. – 8:30 p.m.
