The Florida Department of Transportation (FDOT), District One, in coordination with the City of Bradenton, will hold a public hearing about the design of pedestrian improvements on 8th Avenue West from 14th Street West to 9th Street West. FDOT is designing medians and crosswalks on 8th Avenue West between 14th Street West and 9th Street West for pedestrians. This project also creates dedicated turn lanes at most of the intersections. In addition, the project will lengthen the eastbound left-turn lane at the 8th Avenue West/9th Street West intersection to allow room for more vehicles.
