This public hearing was conducted to give interested persons an opportunity to express their views concerning the conceptual design, and social, economic, and environmental effects of the proposed improvements.

The meeting began with an open house, followed by a formal public comment period at 6:30 p.m. Draft project documents and other project-related materials were displayed, and a PowerPoint presentation ran continuously during the open house.

What’s New?

The Florida Department of Transportation (FDOT) completed a Project Development & Environment (PD&E) Re-evaluation Study for proposed improvements to US 19 (SR 55) from 66th Avenue North to SR 690 / 118th Avenue North in Pinellas County. This project is a re-evaluation of a PD&E study originally completed in 1990. Re-evaluations verify that the study results are in compliance with applicable Federal and State laws before moving into a production phase for the area. This re-evaluation serves as a check on the commitments made by FDOT during the original study process. The re-evaluation documents compliance with Federal laws and any changes that may have occurred since the approval of the original final recommendations.
