Department:	DEPARTMENT OF TRANSPORTATION


Overview



	The Department of Transportation announces a public meeting to which all persons are invited.

DATE AND TIME:	July 21, 2009, 4:30 p.m. – 7:00 p.m.

PLACE:	Florida Department of Transportation, District 5 Ocala Office, 627 N. W. 30th Avenue, Ocala, Florida 34475

Subject:	The Department of Transportation has received authorization from the Federal Highway Administration to conduct a public meeting to discuss the concept of a Pilot Project on Interstate 75 between the Georgia State Line and the beginning of the Turnpike at Wildwood. The pilot project is intended to result in a general reduction in the number of non-conforming outdoor advertising billboards in the sensitive scenic areas on the corridor. The pilot will also test a potential change in Federal regulations which currently prohibit modifications to a non-conforming sign. Under the pilot the Department will allow one-time modifications to non-conforming signs in lesser impacted areas when signs are removed from the more sensitive areas. It is anticipated that this pilot will result in a corridor with a much improved visual character, making it more attractive to motorists.
