A public information meeting will be held concerning the northern section of the U.S. 331 Project Development and Environment Study (for residents from the Liberty area to the Alabama state line). Current and projected traffic forecasts indicate the level of service does not meet FDOT criteria to widen the roadway. Therefore, no capacity improvements are necessary at this time to accommodate the forecasted 2040 peak hour volumes from Coy Burgess Loop Road to the Alabama state line. Operational and safety improvements are being evaluated. In Paxton, the improvements include installing rectangular rapid flashing beacons and upgrading the school zone signage at the existing crosswalk. FDOT representatives will be available at the meeting to discuss the project, answer questions, and receive comments. Maps, drawings, and other information regarding the improvements only in Paxton will be on display. The environmental review, consultation, and other actions required by applicable federal environmental laws for this project are being, or have been, carried out by the FDOT pursuant to 23 U.S.C. 327 and a Memorandum of Understanding dated December 14, 2016 and executed by the Federal Highway Administration and FDOT.
