Alternative Public Workshop
Two Alternative Public Workshops were held on June 15 and June 17, 2009. A project newsletter was distributed to announce the workshops to nearby landowners and individuals on the project mailing list. An audio/visual presentation was shown at the workshops along with exhibits, concept plans and a project brochure. These items, which illustrate the various improvements under consideration, are available to the public. This page includes information that was presented at the workshops.
Approximately 38 citizens attended the first workshop and approximately 47 citizens attended the second workshop. The workshops were an informal format with no formal presentation or speech. A total of 32 comments were received before, during and within the 10 day comment period of the workshops. Several citizens’ comments were in regards to which Alternative they preferred over the other. Other comments were in regards to noise barriers and cost/funding of the projects. FDOT and representatives were questioned by the public about building a new interchange along I-75 within the southern study area.
