OBT public hearing to be May 10

County News

Wednesday, 13 April 2011 14:01

The Florida Department of Transportation at 5:30 p.m. Tuesday, May 10, will conduct a public hearing concerning a project development and environment study that examines proposed improvements on Orange Blossom Trail/U.S. Highway 441 in Osceola County.
The hearing will be at the Kissimmee Civic Center, 201 E. Dakin Ave., in Kissimmee. The hearing begins as an open house at 5:30 p.m., with a formal presentation at 6:30 p.m.
The area under study covers Orange Blossom Trail/U.S. Highway 441, from U.S. Highway 192/Vine Street to Country Boulevard, a distance of approximately two miles.
The project calls for improvements to Orange Blossom Trail from U.S. Highway 192 (Vine Street) to Donegan Avenue, by modifying the existing five-lane facility to a four-lane divided highway with a raised median. The study proposes widening Orange Blossom Trail, from Donegan Avenue to Country Boulevard, to a six-lane divided roadway with curb and gutter. The study also proposes access changes at various locations along the two-mile corridor.
The draft project documents and other information are available for public review from April 19 through May 20, during regular business hours at the following locations: Kissimmee City Hall, 101 N. Church St., Kissimmee; Hart Memorial Public Library, 211 E. Dakin Ave., Kissimmee; and the Osceola County Public Works Division, 1 Courthouse Square, Third Floor, Suite 3100, Kissimmee.
Those wishing to submit written statements or other exhibits, in place of or in addition to oral statements, may do so at the hearing or by sending them to Bill Walsh at FDOT District Five, 719 S. Woodland Blvd., DeLand, FL 32720. All exhibits or statements postmarked by May 20 will become part of the public hearing record.
