    DATE AND TIME: October 5, 2017, 5:00 p.m., open house; 6:00 p.m. public hearing

    PLACE: Calvary Baptist Church Worship Center, 1509 E. Oak Street, Arcadia, Florida, 34266

    GENERAL SUBJECT MATTER TO BE CONSIDERED: The Florida Department of Transportation (FDOT), District One, will hold a public hearing about median modifications and pedestrian safety improvements. These modifications are part of a resurfacing project on SR 70 from Orange Avenue to Turner Avenue, DeSoto County, FL.

    FDOT did pedestrian counts in 2015 and determined for safety reasons the mid-block pedestrian crossings are needed. As part of this resurfacing project, FDOT is designing mid-block pedestrian crossings between North 10th Avenue and 11th Avenue, and just east of 12th Avenue. The mid-block crossings will provide designated areas for pedestrians to cross SR 70.
