Overview



	The Department of Transportation, District 2 announces a hearing to which all persons are invited.

DATE AND TIME:	May 13, 2010, 6:30 p.m.

PLACE:	Florida Department of Transportation, Training Facility, 2198 Edison Avenue, Jacksonville, Florida

Subject:	This hearing is being held to afford interested persons the opportunity to express their views concerning the location, conceptual design and social, economic and environmental effects of Financial Project ID Number 213304-3, otherwise known as Interstate 95/Overland Bridge Noise Walls, Duval County, Florida. The Florida Department of Transportation (FDOT) previously conducted a Project Development and Environment (PD&E) Study to analyze the impacts of replacing the I-95 Overland Bridge. The study limits began on I-95 at San Diego Road and extended northwest to Palm Avenue. A traffic noise evaluation was included in the PD&E Study and noise barriers were evaluated to reduce traffic noise levels at affected residential areas. For the PD&E phase evaluation, FDOT determined that residential communities bordering Interstate 95, within the project limits, would be affected by the project and that consideration of noise barriers is warranted. The following is the general locations of the proposed barriers: • I-95 southbound (western side) from south of San Diego Road to the vicinity of Merrill Avenue. • I-95 northbound (eastern side) from south of San Diego Road to the vicinity of York Street. FDOT is seeking input from you, as a property owner, to verify your support for or opposition to the construction of noise barriers within the FDOT’s right of way adjacent to your property. The final decision to construct a noise barrier will be dependent upon the support or opposition provided by the affected adjacent property owners. This hearing is being conducted to inform the public of the project and afford the public the opportunity to express views concerning the location, conceptual design and social, economic and environmental effects of the proposed improvements. This project is being developed in compliance with Title VI of the Civil Rights Act of 1964.
