FDOT will add sidewalks to both sides of US 41 and add street lighting to the east side of the road within the project limits. The improvements require acquisition of additional right-of-way to accommodate proposed sidewalks and lighting, although existing access to properties will not change. The department sent notices to all property owners and interested people located at least 300 feet on either side of US 41 within the project limits. Project information is available for public review from January 17, 2013 to February 18, 2013 at South Manatee Branch Library, 6081 26th Street West in Bradenton, Florida and FDOT District One Headquarters, 801 North Broadway Avenue in Bartow, Florida. The hearing is developed in compliance with Title VI of the Civil Rights Act of 1964 and related statutes. Public participation is solicited without regard to race, color, national origin, age, sex, religion, disability or family status.
In two design projects separate from this one, FDOT is replacing traffic signals and pedestrian crossing signals and adding ramps at the US 41/Bayshore Gardens Parkway and US 41/60th Avenue West intersections. FDOT will have information available at the hearing about these projects for interested members of the public.
