This public hearing is being conducted to afford affected property and business owners, interested persons and organizations, and local governments, the opportunity to provide comments to FDOT regarding the proposed median change to SR 52 between US 19 (SR 55) and Indian Drive/Hicks Road. The existing full median opening immediately to the west of the SR 52/Little Road intersection will be replaced with a concrete directional median opening. Motorists traveling on SR 52 will still be able to make left turns into the driveway to Publix/Tower Oaks and the driveway to the Plaza of the Oaks. Motorists exiting these driveways will not be able to make left turns onto SR 52. Other proposed improvements include repaving of the existing roadway within the stated project limits, upgrading sidewalk and curb ramps to ADA standards, traffic signal improvements, and upgrading signage and pavement markings. This VPH is held pursuant to Chapters 120, 335.18, and 335.199, Florida Statutes. FDOT, District Seven, will receive verbal and written comments online and at each VPH location.
