The Florida Department of Transportation (FDOT) is hosting a meeting for invited stakeholders to learn about and discuss the Lakeland Area Alternatives Analysis. The Lakeland Area Alternatives Analysis Study will assist the Florida Department of Transportation (FDOT) and its transportation partners (City of Lakeland, Polk County, Citrus Connection) in defining a program of projects that improve the transportation, safety, economic, and quality of life goals within the Study area. The Study will aim to balance all modes of transportation in the Study area, including vehicular traffic, freight, bicycle-pedestrian, and transit. Potential solutions will be developed and evaluated in coordination with the transportation partners and the public. The general Study area encompasses northwest Lakeland, bordered by Kathleen Road to the west, Interstate 4 to the north, Lakeland Hills Boulevard to the east, and Memorial Blvd to the south.
