After the verbal portion of the VPH has concluded, the project PowerPoint presentation will be shown continuously for the duration of the VPH. This VPH is conducted to afford affected property and business owners, interested persons, local governments, and organizations the opportunity to provide comments to FDOT, District Seven, regarding the potential effects of the proposed median change to SR 566 in the vicinity of the eastbound I-4 exit ramp. The existing median opening across from Starbucks will be closed to allow the northbound U-turn lane at the I-4 eastbound exit ramp and the southbound left turn lane at Townsgate Court to be lengthened.

Other proposed improvements include the realignment of the eastbound I-4 exit ramp and the construction of a dual right and single left turn at this intersection. Additionally, the road will be resurfaced and sidewalks constructed on both sides of the roadway, within the above stated project limits.
