FDOT District Six is conducting a Project Development and Environment (PD&E) Study for the N.E. 125 Street/N.E. 6 Avenue/West Dixie Highway intersection. This public hearing is being conducted to give residents the opportunity to provide input on the preferred transportation improvements for the N.E. 125 Street/N.E. 6 Avenue/West Dixie Highway and N.E. 125/N.E. 7 Avenue intersections. These intersections are identified as high priority crash locations, and access management changes at the five-legged intersection are anticipated. The primary purpose of this study is to improve safety and traffic operations at these intersections. The preferred alternative consists of: closing only the southbound approach of West Dixie Highway and providing one northbound lane between N.E. 125 Street and N.E. 128 Street, and converting N.E. 7 Avenue to a one-way southbound street between N.E. 128 Street to N.E. 125 Street. These improvements will significantly improve safety and operations while minimizing impacts on the local community.
