This public meeting is conducted to afford affected property and business owners, interested persons and organizations the opportunity to provide comments to FDOT regarding the proposed improvements on SR 54 between US 19 and Virginia City Dr. in western Pasco County. The only median affected by this project is at Wiggins Drive. The existing full median opening will be converted to a bi-directional median opening. This means drivers traveling southbound on Wiggins Drive will no longer be able to make a left turn onto eastbound SR 54; they will be restricted to a right turn only. Eastbound SR 54 drivers will still be able to make a left turn onto northbound Wiggins Drive, and westbound SR 54 drivers will still be able to make a U-Turn at the intersection. FDOT is sending notices to all property owners, business owners, interested persons and organizations to provide the opportunity to offer comments and express their views regarding this project and the proposed improvements. This Hybrid Public Meeting is held pursuant to Chapters 120, 335.18 and 335.199, Florida Statutes. FDOT will receive verbal/written comments at the public meeting drive-thru location and online from registered webinar participants. Additionally, written or emailed comments may also be submitted following the meeting to Kevin.Lee@dot.state.fl.us or mailed to Kevin Lee, Design Project Manager, Florida Department of Transportation, 11201 N.
