| FDOT is proposing the operational improvements including construction of auxiliary lanes between interchanges for a 22.5-mile segment of I-75 from south of S.R. 44 to S.R. 200. The preferred alternative meets the project purpose and need. The purpose of this project is to evaluate short-term operational improvements on the mainline of I-75 from south of S.R. 44 to SR 200. The primary needs for this project are to enhance current transportation safety and modal interrelationships while providing additional capacity between existing interchanges. No interchange improvements will be evaluated. This Signature of Person Completing this Part: |DATE Edward Northey, FDOT D5, Environmental Management Supervisor 4/17/24 |
