GENERAL SUBJECT MATTER TO BE CONSIDERED: This hearing is being held to afford interested persons an opportunity to express their views concerning the location, conceptual design, social, economic, and environmental effects of Financial Project ID Number: 418403-1-22-01 otherwise known as the SR 600 (John Young Parkway) Project Development and Environment (PD&E) Study in Osceola County, Florida. The project considers the corridor from Pleasant Hill Road to US 192 in regards to the impacts and conceptual design of widening the roadway from four (4) to six (6) lanes.

Following the Public Hearing for the project a Reclassification Public Hearing will be held for SR 600 from Pleasant Hill Road to Martin Circle.

An Access Class 5 designation would allow full median openings every one-quarter mile (1,320 feet) and directional openings every one-eighth mile (660 feet). The ability to add these additional features are subject to operational and safety conditions. This Public Hearing is being conducted to give all interested parties an opportunity to comment on the proposed access management reclassification for the above listed project limits on SR 600.
