Subject:	The Florida Department of Transportation (FDOT), District Four, will conduct a public hearing for the proposed interstate improvements to State Road (SR) 9/I-95 in Broward and Palm Beach Counties, Florida (Distance of an approximate 13.5 miles). Project Limits: From north of Oakland Park Boulevard (SR 816) to south of Glades Road (SR 808) in Broward and Palm Beach Counties, Florida. Financial Project Identification No’s.: 409359-1-22-01 and 409355-1-22-01; Efficient Transportation Decision Making (ETDM) No.: 3330. This public hearing is being conducted 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 and in accordance with Federal Executive Orders 11990 and 11988. The purpose of this study is to design a transportation system that will offer new commuting choices and more reliable travel during congested periods with the implementation of an express lanes system. This study is focusing on evaluating the addition of tolled express lanes in the median. The purpose of these express lanes is to improve mobility, relieve congestion and provide additional travel options along the I-95 corridor. The express lanes will create an opportunity to accommodate a Bus Rapid Transit (BRT) system that will allow express bus service between counties with connections to the existing Park-and-Ride lots along the corridor. This project will provide continuity with the proposed I-95 express lanes system immediately to the south of the study limits, as well as to the existing I-95 express lanes system in Miami-Dade County. The bridges over the Hillsboro Canal will be replaced as part of this project in order to accommodate the proposed corridor improvements.
