Subject:	Florida Department of Transportation (FDOT) announces public hearings on the Central Florida Commuter Rail Transit (CFCRT) project to which all persons are invited. The public hearings are being held to afford interested persons the opportunity to express their views concerning the location, conceptual design, social, economic, and environmental effects of Financial Identification Number 412994-2-22-01, otherwise known as, the Central Florida Commuter Rail Transit (CFCRT) Project. These hearings are being conducted to afford persons the opportunity to express their views about the CFCRT project, as well as any comments regarding impacts associated with the movement of freight traffic from the A-Line to the S-Line. Each hearing will follow the same agenda and the same pertinent project information will be on display for public review and comment. Members of the study team will be available to assist with any questions you may have before and after the formal presentation. Project information will be informally displayed from 6:00 p.m. to 7:00 p.m., followed by the formal portion, which will begin promptly at 7:00 p.m. The formal portion of the public hearing will consist of a project presentation including discussion of the impacts of the movement of freight, followed by an opportunity for citizens to make formal statements (public testimony). FDOT is preparing a Supplemental Environmental Assessment (EA) for certain station changes associated with Fort Florida, Longwood, and Maitland of the CFCRT project. The Supplemental EA will also include a general analysis of noise and vibration and grade crossing delay impacts associated with CSXT’s plan to move freight traffic generally from the A-Line (where the CFCRT is proposed) to the S-Line, which extends from Jacksonville through Ocala to Lakeland, terminating in Auburndale.
