Subject:	The Florida Department of Transportation (FDOT) invites you to attend a public hearing concerning proposed improvements to S.R. 30A and S.R. 79 in Bay County. The hearing will be held Tuesday, April 21, 2015 from 6:00 p.m. to 7:00 p.m. CDT, at the George C. Cowgill City Hall Annex Building , 104 South Arnold Road, Panama City Beach, Florida. There will be an open house beginning at 6:00 p.m., followed by a formal presentation at 6:30 p.m. This hearing is being conducted to give interested persons an opportunity to express their views concerning the proposed widening and extension of the eastbound left-turn lane on S.R. 30A to better accommodate left-turning vehicles. This improvement will require a modification to the median access to Armstrong Circle from S.R. 30A. This project also proposes converting the existing eastbound right-turn lane into an additional through-lane and constructing a new eastbound right-turn lane adjacent to the existing turn lane. The proposed improvements to S.R. 79 include shifting the southbound through-lane to the west and striping the pavement to add a left-turn lane to alleviate congestion during peak seasons. Other improvements include milling and resurfacing the existing lanes, minor drainage improvements, sidewalk construction, signage, and traffic signal upgrades. Proposed improvements will not require additional right-of-way. Bids for construction are anticipated to be received during the summer of 2016. Persons wishing to submit written statements, in place of, or in addition to, oral statements, may do so at the hearing or by sending them to Timothy Barnard, P.E., FDOT Project Manager, 1074 Highway 90, Chipley, FL 32428 or via email at timothy.barnard@dot.state.fl.us. All statements received on or before May 05, 2015 will become part of the public hearing record. Representatives from FDOT will be available at the hearing to discuss the project, answer questions, and receive comments. Maps, drawings and other project information will be on display.
