	The Florida Department of Transportation, District One, announces a public meeting to which all persons are invited.

DATE AND TIME:	Thursday, November 12, 2015, 5:30 p.m. to 7:30 p.m. with an open house format.

Subject:	This Alternatives Public Meeting is being conducted to give interested persons an opportunity to review the proposed bridge alternatives under consideration and to express their views concerning the location, conceptual design, and social, economic, and environmental effects of the proposed improvements to the US/98 John Singletary Bridge in Polk County, Florida. Financial Project ID No. 434886-1-22-01. This bridge was constructed in 1931 and has two 10-foot wide travel lanes and a 5.4-foot wide sidewalk on the north side. These dimensions are functionally obsolete. The need for the project is to provide a bridge built to current standards. The purpose of this project is to study ways to correct these identified deficiencies and maintain the connection between Downtown Fort Meade to the west and the City of Frostproof to the east, as US 98 serves as the main access road between the two cities. This project is also intended to enhance safety conditions as well as movement/access across the Peace River for motorists, pedestrians, and bicyclists.

Broadway Avenue, Bartow, FL 33830, phone (863) 519-2293, or by email at william.hartmann@dot.state.fl.us.
