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

    DATE AND TIME: September 25, 2014, 4:30 p.m.

    PLACE: Hyatt Regency, Jacksonville-Riverfront, 225 East Coastline Drive, Jacksonville, FL 32202

    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: 435845-1, otherwise known as the proposed closure of on-ramp from Independent Drive to the Main Street (SR-5) Bridge in Jacksonville, Florida. Please join the Florida Department of Transportation for a public hearing to discuss the proposed closure of the on-ramp from Independent Drive to the Main Street (SR-5) Bridge. The proposed ramp closure is being requested by the City of Jacksonville and is consistent with their plans for the redevelopment of the Jacksonville Landing. For this reason, southbound access to the Main Street Bridge is being studied to determine if the two existing southbound access points can be modified to a single access point. Currently, southbound bridge traffic can cross the bridge by entering eastbound Independent Drive or from southbound Main Street. The proposed improvements recommend closing the Independent Drive ramp to the Main Street Bridge. Public participation is solicited without regard to race, color, sex, age, religion, national origin, disability or family status.
