The Florida Department of Transportation announces a workshop to which all persons are invited.
DATE AND TIME: December 12, 2011, 4:30 p.m. – 6:30 p.m.
PLACE: Orange Park Town Hall, 2042 Park Avenue, Orange Park, FL
GENERAL SUBJECT MATTER TO BE CONSIDERED: This workshop is being held to afford interested persons the opportunity to express their views concerning the location, conceptual design, social, economic and environmental effects of Financial Project ID: 208207-7, otherwise known as the proposed widening of SR 15 (US 17) in Clay County, Florida. The Florida Department of Transportation is proposing the construction of two northbound auxiliary lanes along the east side of US 17 from the Orange Park Kennel Club to I-295 that will connect to the eastbound and westbound interchange ramps. The proposed improvements will require the elimination of two directional median openings just south of the US 17 and I-295 interchange, improved geometry at Wells Road and Old Orange Park Road intersections and the installation of a stormwater retention pond within the project limits. The workshop will be an “Open House” format to allow visitors to drop by anytime from 4:30 to 6:30 to talk with Department staff, ask questions and submit written comments. An Open comment period will begin at 6:30 p.m. Public participation is solicited without regard to race, color, religion, sex, age, national origin, disability or family status.
