The Department of Transportation, District 2 announces a hearing to which all persons are invited.

DATE AND TIME: August 27, 2015, 4:30 p.m. – 6:30 p.m.

PLACE: Edward Waters College, Adams-Jenkins Sports & Music Complex, 1859 Kings Road, Jacksonville, FL 32209

GENERAL SUBJECT MATTER TO BE CONSIDERED: This hearing is being held to afford interested persons the opportunity to express their views concerning the location, conceptual design, social, economic and environmental effects of Financial Project ID: 430560-1, otherwise known State Road 15 (Kings Road). The Florida Department of Transportation (FDOT) is proposing to resurface Kings Road in the summer of 2016. This resurfacing project allows the FDOT to revisit the striping of the roadway. Currently the road is striped as a four-lane roadway with no bike lanes or center turn lane. FDOT is evaluating the following different concepts for the portion of the corridor from Tyler Street to Martha Street. 1) Leaving the corridor as is (resurfacing the corridor and leaving the striping as four lanes with no turn lane or bike lanes). 2) Leaving the corridor striped as is but adding protected green arrow phases to existing signalized intersections with high left turn volumes. 3) Reducing the road to one travel lane in each direction and adding a dedicated turn lane and 5 foot paved bike lanes. No additional right of way will be required. Public participation is solicited without regard to race, color, religion, sex, age, national origin, disability or family status.
