The Florida Department of Transportation (FDOT) will hold a public hearing about proposed plans to improve safety on U.S. 27 (S.R. 500) at NW 115th Avenue. Proposed improvements consist of converting the full median opening to a bi-directional opening that allows westbound and eastbound traffic on U.S. 27 to make a left turn onto NW 115th Avenue, while traffic from NW 115th Avenue will only be able to turn right onto U.S. 27. This reduces the number of conflict points at the intersection; thus, improving safety.
The public hearing will be Thursday, July 18, 2019, at the Fellowship Baptist Church, 10500 U.S. 27, Ocala, FL 34482.
