The Florida Department of Transportation District 2 announces a public meeting to which all persons are invited.

DATE AND TIME: Thursday, June 11, 2015, 4:30 p.m. – 6:30 p.m.

PLACE: City of Newberry Municipal Building, 25440 W. Newberry Road, Newberry, FL 32669

GENERAL SUBJECT MATTER TO BE CONSIDERED: This meeting is being held to give interested persons an opportunity to express their views concerning the proposed improvements of Financial Project ID: 207850-2 State Road (SR) 26 in Newberry, Florida. This meeting is part of a new Project Development and Environment (PD&E) Study to examine proposed SR 26 (W. Newberry Road) operational improvements and one-way lane pairs. FDOT conducted a PD&E Study in 2007 which studied several alternative alignments. Due to lack of funding, the project was put on hold. The new SR 26 improvements are being considered to improve mobility in downtown Newberry while preserving the historic district. Some of the alternatives being considered may include removal of on-street parking in downtown Newberry. The limits of this project extend from the Gilchrist County line to County Road 26A (approximately four miles).

A copy of the agenda may be obtained by contacting: Mr. Bill Henderson, District Planning and Environmental Manager, Florida Department of Transportation District 2, 1109 S. Marion Avenue, MS 2007, Lake City, Florida 32025-5874.
