The materials and information shared at the open-house meeting in person will be the same as those shared during the online meeting.

FDOT is looking at the problems with transportation on the interstate system right now. In a Master Plan, the results of the analysis and suggestions for making the area safer and easier to get around are written down. The Master Plan may list widening, managed lanes, changing interchanges, or evaluating new interchanges as planned improvements. This kind of public outreach will be part of the Master Plan, and it will be used to find and rank projects that will move forward into the Project Development Process. This project is at the start of the process, in the Planning and Feasibility Phase. This long-term approach uses a regional view to find the places where demand is expected to grow in the future. This Master Plan will be a guide that will help FDOT put its future efforts and money on the most important things first.
