Public Workshop on Improvements at North Courtenay Parkway (S.R. 3) and Mustang Way/Lucas Road Intersection

Merritt Island, Fla. - The Florida Department of Transportation (FDOT) is hosting a public workshop for the intersection improvement project at North Courtenay Parkway (State Road (S.R.) 3) at Mustang Way/Lucas Road.

Additional improvements include milling and resurfacing, traffic signal replacement, new pedestrian lighting and safety enhancement signs, driveway modifications, turning radius improvements, drainage improvements, restriping with special emphasis markings, and relocation of the signal control box to improve the visibility of pedestrians.

The workshop will be held on Tuesday, September 17, 2019, from 5:30 p.m. to 7:30 p.m. at the Veterans Memorial Center, 400 South Sykes Creek Parkway, Merritt Island, FL 32952.
