Subject:	Interstate 75 (I-75)/State Road (SR) 93A Project Development and Environment (PD&E) Studies. The Florida Department of Transportation (FDOT) District Seven is conducting a public hearing in-person, with the option to attend virtually, to present information to and receive public input from interested persons regarding the proposed improvements to I-75 from Moccasin Wallow Road in Manatee County to south of US 301 in Hillsborough County (WPI Segment No. 419235-2) and from south of US 301 to north of Bruce B. Downs Boulevard in Hillsborough County (WPI Segment No. 419235-3). I-75 is a major north-south interstate that is an important connection to the regional and statewide transportation network (such as I-4 and I-10) linking the Tampa Bay area to the remainder of the state and nation. Widening I-75 is critical to maintain and improve access to major transportation facilities, as well as enhance mobility within the Tampa Bay area. The proposed projects involve adding two 12-foot express lanes in each direction in the median from Moccasin Wallow Road to north of Bruce B. Downs Boulevard. The projects may include right-of-way for stormwater management facilities and floodplain compensation site (ponds) and improvements to select interchanges. The northern project may impact the Tampa Bypass Canal, a Section 4(f) resource. Citizens who choose to attend the virtual hearing session must do so through a computer, tablet, or smartphone via GoToWebinar. Virtual attendees must register online at the project website: www.fdotd7studies.com/i75/. Interested persons may submit written comments at the hearing, online at www.fdotd7studies.com/i75/, or at a later date to Kirk Bogen, P.E., Environmental Management Engineer, FDOT, District Seven, 11210 N. McKinley Drive MS 7-500, Tampa, FL 33612. Written comments will be accepted throughout the PD&E Study, but to be included in the public hearing record, comments should be postmarked no later than Monday, February 7, 2022. The environmental review, consultation, and other actions required by applicable federal environmental laws for this project are being, or have been, carried out by FDOT pursuant to Title 23 of the United States Code, Section 327 and a Memorandum of Understanding dated December 14, 2016 and executed by Federal Highway Administration and FDOT.
