Subject:	The Florida Department of Transportation (FDOT) invites you to the State Road (SR) 865 from Linda Loma Drive to Kelly Road Public Meeting on Thursday, March 30, 2023. The in-person public meeting (open house format) will begin at 5:00 p.m. The virtual meeting will begin at 6:00 p.m. The purpose of this project is to provide improvements along SR 865 with the intent of enhancing safety along the corridor. Proposed improvements include constructing chicanes, or concrete traffic islands, which will narrow the roadway to discourage speeding. The chicanes will be constructed in each direction on SR 865. Two additional traffic islands are proposed within the existing two-way left-turn lane for additional traffic calming. Additional improvements include installation of new signage and pavement markings. This public meeting is being held to present information about the proposed design and gather public input. FDOT will accept written comments during and after the meeting. Comments submitted after the meeting may be sent to Chris Speese, Florida Department of Transportation, Southwest Area Office, 10041 Daniels Parkway, Fort Myers, FL 33913, or emailed to Christopher.Speese@dot.state.fl.us.
