The Collier County Growth Management Division announces an alternatives public workshop to which all persons are invited.

DATE AND TIME: Thursday, October 7, 2010, 5:00 p.m. – 7:00 p.m.

PLACE: Habitat for Humanity of Collier County, 11145 Tamiami Trail East, Naples, Florida

GENERAL SUBJECT MATTER TO BE CONSIDERED: This project is in coordination with the Florida Department of Transportation (FDOT). The project area for the intersection improvements is approximately one-quarter mile in each direction on US 41 & S.R./C.R. 951, a distance of about 1.0 miles.

This workshop provides the public an opportunity to provide input on the type of improvements to be designed and constructed to make the intersection of US 41 & S.R./C.R. 951 most efficient. FDOT conducted a Project Development and Environment Study, completed in 2008, that included this intersection. The county is now in the process of re-evaluating that study as well as determining which of several alternatives is preferable. Once that determination has been made, the design process will move forward.

Construction for the intersection improvements is currently programmed in the county’s Five Year Work Program and expected to begin in Fiscal Year 2013/14. Construction will be for at-grade improvements. There are alternatives for a grade-separated overpass as well, that will be a future option if funding becomes available and consensus of the design and permitting is achieved. Only the at-grade alternatives are under consideration at this time.

Pursuant to the provisions of the Americans with Disabilities Act, any person with a disability requiring special accommodations to participate in this workshop is entitled, at no cost, to the provision of certain assistance. Please advise the agency at least 3 days before the workshop by contacting: Collier County Facilities Management Department, 3301 East Tamiami Trail, Naples, Florida 34112, [phone].
