Project Description: Babcock Street/County Road 507 (C.R. 507) Project Development and Environment (PD&E) Study from south of Micco Road/Deer Run Road to Malabar Road/State Road 514 (S.R. 514) in Brevard County, Florida.

The Florida Department of Transportation (FDOT) invites all persons to an Alternatives Public Meeting for the Babcock Street/C.R. 507 Project Development and Environment (PD&E) Study. The project limits are from south of Micco Road/Deer Run Road to Malabar Road/S.R. 514, a distance of approximately 9 miles. The PD&E Study is a process that satisfies state and federal regulations, combines engineering evaluations, environmental analysis and public involvement. The purpose of this study is to evaluate options, known as alternatives, that address the long-term transportation needs of Babcock Street. The alternatives being considered involve widening Babcock Street from two lanes to four lanes, the addition of bicycle and pedestrian features, and intersection and safety improvements. The No-Build or “do nothing” alternative is also being considered.

The Alternatives Public Meeting will be held on Tuesday, July 30, 2019, at the Knights of Columbus located at 6725 Babcock Street SE, Malabar, Florida 32950. The meeting will be an open house from 5:30 p.m. to 7:30 p.m. The meeting is being held to present the alternatives being evaluated and to obtain stakeholder input. Attendees will have an opportunity to view a continuous, looping presentation, and project information will be on display. Members of the project team will also be available to discuss the project and answer questions.
