DATE AND TIMES: Thursday, July 18, 2019, Open House 5:00 p.m., Presentation 6:00 p.m.

PLACE: Fellowship Baptist Church, 10500 U.S. 27, Ocala, FL 34482

GENERAL SUBJECT MATTER TO BE CONSIDERED: The Florida Department of Transportation (FDOT) will hold a public hearing about proposed plans to improve safety on U.S. 27 (S.R. 500) at NW 115th Avenue. Proposed improvements consist of converting the full median opening to a bi-directional opening that allows westbound and eastbound traffic on U.S. 27 to make a left turn onto NW 115th Avenue, while traffic from NW 115th Avenue will only be able to turn right onto U.S. 27. This reduces the number of conflict points at the intersection; thus, improving safety.

The public hearing will be Thursday, July 18, 2019, at the Fellowship Baptist Church, 10500 U.S. 27, Ocala, FL 34482. 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, July 29, 2019. All written and oral comments will become part of the project’s public record.
