FDOT will hold an alternatives public meeting for the State Road (SR) 60 Project Development and Environment (PD&E) study from County Road (CR) 630 in Polk County to east of the Kissimmee River Bridge, in Osceola County. This meeting is to provide information about the proposed widening of SR 60 from two to four lanes. The meeting will be an open house format with a continuous video presentation. People attending the meeting may review project displays and aerial photographs, and speak one-on-one with project team members. Proposed widening alternatives will require right-of-way acquisition for road improvements and stormwater management ponds. Existing access to properties along SR 60 will change due to the addition of a median, a result of widening the road. The department sent notices to all property owners located within 300 feet on either side of the SR 60 project limits, as well as any other interested persons. The meeting is developed in compliance with Title VI of the Civil Rights Act of 1964 and related statutes. FDOT solicits public participation without regard to race, color, national origin, age, sex, religion, disability, or family status. The environmental review, consultation, and other actions required by applicable federal environmental laws for this project are being, or have been, carried out by 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.
