The project, as proposed, will impact approximately 2,309 square feet (0.053 acres) of property from the City of Lake Alfred’s Frank C. Gardner Park. These impacts are needed to accommodate the 10-foot shared-use path and the relocation of the Citrus Connection bus stop proposed between US 17/92 and the park. Although impacts will occur to landscaped portions of the park, no impacts will occur to the Veteran’s Memorial within the park. As part of the project development process and in accordance with Section 4(f) of the US Department of Transportation Act of 1966, the FDOT is seeking comments from the public concerning the effects of the project on the activities, features, and attributes of this resource. FDOT intends to make a de minimis impact determination on the park. The environmental review, consultation, and other actions required by applicable federal environmental laws for this project are being, or have been, carried out by the Florida Department of Transportation (FDOT) pursuant to 23 U.S.C. § 327 and a Memorandum of Understanding dated May 26, 2022, and executed by the Federal Highway Administration and FDOT.
