Improvements along Pine Forest Road include widening to six lanes from Pine Forest Drive to South of I-10. North of I-10, Pine Forest Road will be widened to four lanes. Curb and gutter will be installed, along with a 10-foot shared use path and a 6-foot sidewalk. Chellie Road will be widened to 11-foot lanes with curb and gutter. Pine Forest Drive will be extended to the west to connect to Chellie Road and will follow the same typical section. Additional improvements include the installation of a signalized intersection at Pine Forest Drive, signalized median U-turns along Nine Mile Road, and construction of a roundabout at CR 297A. Right of way acquisition and construction are not funded at this time. In accordance with Section 335.188, Florida Statutes, this public hearing is also being held to provide the opportunity for public comment on the proposed access management reclassification for Pine Forest Road from north of I-10 to north of County Road 297A from Access Class 6 to Access Class 5 due to proposed changes from a non-restrictive to a restrictive median.
