Subject:	The Florida Department of Transportation (FDOT) District 2 invites you to the I-95 (SR 9) Subsequent Hybrid Public Hearing to discuss the proposed improvements to I-95 from International Golf Parkway to I-295 in Duval and St. Johns Counties, Florida. 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 23 U.S.C. § 327 and a Memorandum of Understanding dated December 14, 2016, and executed by FHWA and FDOT. The Department is offering two ways to participate in the hearing. Interested persons may join the virtual public hearing (VPH) at www.nflroads.com/vph from a computer, tablet or phone. Or, they may participate in person by going to the World Golf Village, 500 South Legacy Trail, St. Augustine, FL 32092. A VPH is a free live presentation or webinar over the internet. Since the March 2016 Public Hearing, FDOT has decided to convert the Express Lanes (toll lanes) on I-95 to General Use Lanes (non-toll lanes) which will result in less right-of-way to construct, minimize impacts to the environment and provide construction cost savings. Additional interchange improvements are proposed at First Coast Expressway (SR 23), SR 9B, Old St. Augustine Road and I-295. The Subsequent Public Hearing provides an opportunity for the public to express their opinions and concerns regarding the conceptual design changes; and social, economic and environmental effects of the proposed project. As of March 22, 2022, draft project documents will be available for your review during normal business hours at the Bartram Trail Branch Library located at 60 Davis Pong Boulevard, Fruit Cove, FL 32259 and the FDOT Urban Office, 2198 Edison Avenue, Jacksonville, FL 32204. Draft project documents and other information are available for your review on the project website at www.nflroad.com/I-95. Persons who wish to submit written statements may do so at the hearing or the project website or send them to the address below no later than April 22, 2022, to be documented as part of the public hearing transcript.
