Subject:	This public meeting will serve as a project update since the previous meeting held in June 2025. For your convenience, the FDOT is providing multiple options for participation in the public meeting. Attendees will be able to view project exhibits, ask questions, and review the design with members of the project team. This design project seeks to improve the safety and operations of S.R.45 (U.S. 41) in Manatee County. The roadway modifications include the addition of raised medians and directional turn lanes to the existing two-way left-turn lanes. The raised medians and directional turn lanes were strategically placed at key locations to reduce the number of conflict points, simplify driver decision making, and minimize the potential for higher severity crash types. Additional project elements include resurfacing the directional turn lanes, the addition of new pavement markings, signing, minor signal improvements, and traffic signal loops where necessary. All project elements are anticipated to occur within the existing public right-of-way. For your convenience, there are several options to participate in the public meeting including an in-person option and a virtual/online option. All participants, regardless of the platform they choose, will receive the same information on the proposed project, and all comments received in-person, virtually, or electronically, will be given equal weight.
