    GENERAL SUBJECT MATTER TO BE CONSIDERED: FDOT is preparing design plans to widen State Road (SR) 82 from Lee Boulevard to Shawnee Road and from Shawnee Road to Alabama Road in Lee County. The Financial Project ID (FPID) numbers are 425841-1-32-01 and 425841-2-32-01.

    The proposed improvements include widening both segments of SR 82 from an existing two-lane roadway to a six-lane divided roadway. The corridor will have a median separating three 12-foot travel lanes in each direction, 6.5-foot inside and outside paved shoulders, a five-foot sidewalk on the north side and a 10-foot shared-use path on the south side. With the addition of a median through this segment, FDOT is developing a plan for median openings and turn lanes.

    The purpose of the scheduled meeting is to present information and to obtain comments about the proposed widening plans for both segments of SR 82. An informal video will run continuously throughout the open house. This video will illustrate how the Continuous Flow Intersection at Daniels Parkway/Gunnery Road will operate. You can attend anytime during the open house to review project information and talk one-on-one with the design team.
