FDOT District Six has begun a Project Development and Environment (PD&E) Study for the SR 826/Palmetto Expressway from I-75 to the Golden Glades Interchange. The primary purpose of this study is to determine the number and type of travel lanes and interchange improvements required to accommodate anticipated future traffic volumes and improve safety conditions throughout the project corridor. The study will also evaluate operational and safety improvements which could include Active Traffic Management and Intelligent Transportation Systems strategies, lane additions, managed lanes, major interchange modifications, and bus rapid transit. This Public Kick-Off Meeting is being held to give interested persons an opportunity to provide input on the future transportation improvements along the Palmetto Expressway.
