DATE AND TIME:	July 14, 2022, 5:30 p.m.

PLACE:	Online via GoToWebinar or in person at Florida Southwestern State College

Subject:	The Florida Department of Transportation (FDOT) District One invites you to attend a follow-up public meeting on July 14, 2022, to review the design revisions made to the proposed safety improvements on State Road (SR) 867 (McGregor Boulevard) from Cypress Lake Drive to Edinburgh Drive in Fort Myers. The project proposed replacing the two-way, left turn lane with a raised median along the project corridor to enhance safety and eliminate conflict points. In response to citizen comments from the January public meeting, FDOT updated the design plans to include median openings and left turn lanes that allow U-turns and provide access to high-volume commercial and residential areas. FDOT will also be synchronizing signal timing to allow for the additional U-turns at all signalized intersections. Information can be found on the project website at www.swflroads.com/SR867/cypresslaketoedinburgh. The purpose of the public meeting is to present information and updates to the project designs.
