DATE AND TIME:	Saturday, March 10, 2012, 10:00 a.m. – 12:00 Noon (CST)

PLACE:	Brent Athletic Park, Beverly Parkway (SR 296) and W. Street (CR 453), Pensacola, FL

Subject:	The Florida Department of Transportation (FDOT), in cooperation with the Federal Highway Administration (FHWA), will hold a public meeting for a proposed turn lane improvement to State Road (SR) 296 (Beverly Parkway) in Escambia County, Florida. A booth will be set up in conjunction with Opening Day of the Brent Athletic Park spring baseball season to provide information. FDOT representatives will be available to explain project information, address questions and receive comments. The booth will be located near the baseball field concession stand. There will not be a formal presentation. The project proposes to construct an eastbound to southbound right turn lane from SR 296 (Beverly Parkway) to County Road 453 (W Street). Approximately 0.25 acres of right-of-way would be needed from the 37.5 acre Brent Athletic Park owned by Escambia County. No developed recreational amenities would be affected. This public meeting is being held to give interested persons an opportunity to express their views concerning the location, conceptual design, and social, economic, and environmental effects of the proposed improvements. At the meeting, the public will have the opportunity to provide comments on the project’s effect to the recreational use of the Brent Athletic Park. The FHWA has determined that the proposed project involves use of the Brent Athletic Park, a recreational facility protected under Section 4(f) of the U.S. Department of Transportation Act. After reviewing all public comment, FHWA anticipates issuance of a de minimis impact finding. The draft project documents and the Section 4(f) Determination of Applicability will be available for review at the meeting and at HDR Engineering, 25 West Cedar Street, Suite 200, Pensacola, FL 32502, through Tuesday, March 20, 2012.
