Project information can be viewed on the project website at: https://fdotd7studies.com/SR56EXT/. The meeting will provide an opportunity to review the alternative corridors and provide your input. We encourage all interested people to participate and express their views regarding the project and information presented. The FDOT District Seven is utilizing the ACE process to evaluate the extension of SR 56 from US 301/SR 41 to US 98/SR 35/SR 700 in Pasco County, Florida. The intent is to find a suitable corridor for the extension of the existing SR 54/SR 56 facility, which currently stretches from US 19 to the intersection with US 301/Gall Boulevard/SR 41. This extension of the corridor could complete a direct east-west route across the southern portion of Pasco County into Polk County and could also serve as part of a bypass for the City of Zephyrhills. The goals of the ACE process are to identify and evaluate alternative corridors, eliminate alternative corridors that do not meet the project’s purpose and need or that have disproportionate and/or significant impacts to the surrounding environment, and to recommend a reasonable alternative corridor(s) for further study in the Project Development and Environment (PD&E) phase. This project is being coordinated with the City of Zephyrhills, Pasco County, project stakeholders, and the public. Public participation is solicited without regard to race, color, national origin, age, sex, religion, disability, or family status. The environmental review, consultation, and other actions required by applicable federal environmental laws for this project are being, or have been, carried out by the FDOT pursuant to 23 United States Code (U.S.C.) §327 and a Memorandum of Understanding dated December 14, 2016 and executed by the Federal Highway Administration and FDOT.
