DATE AND TIME: Thursday, August 23, 2012, 5:00 p.m. – 7:00 p.m. (Central Time)

GENERAL SUBJECT MATTER TO BE CONSIDERED: Okaloosa County, in cooperation with the Florida Department of Transportation (FDOT) and the Federal Highway Administration (FHWA), will hold a public hearing regarding the widening of P.J. Adams Parkway/Antioch Road from State Road (S.R.) 85 to US 90 in Okaloosa County, Florida. Two build alternatives are evaluated: widen the existing two-lane P.J. Adams Parkway/Antioch Road to four lanes (a total of 5.3 miles) [Alternative 2]; or widen P.J. Adams/Antioch Road from SR 85 to Arena Road and construct a new four-lane alignment from the intersection of Antioch Road/Arena Road to the intersection of Old Bethel Road/US 90 (a total of 6.9 miles) [Alternative 3A]. Alternative 3A would preserve Antioch Road in its existing condition north of Arena Road. Other improvements include new overpasses at SR 8 (I-10), and at the CSX railroad. The proposed project includes Access Management controls, stormwater ponds, drainage improvements, sidewalks, and bicycle lanes.

An Environmental Assessment (EA) has been prepared for public review. The project is not currently funded for right-of-way acquisition or construction.

The draft Environmental Assessment and other information will be available for review Thursday, July 19, 2012 through Friday, September 7, 2012 at Okaloosa County Public Works at 1759 S. Ferdon Boulevard, Crestview, FL 32536; the Robert L. F. Sikes Public Library at 1445 Commerce Drive, Crestview, Florida 32539; and on-line at: http://www.co. okaloosa.fl.us/cc_public_notices.html.
