The Florida Department of Transportation (FDOT) is conducting an Alternatives Public Meeting for the Malabar Road PD&E Study. We will present design alternatives for widening Malabar Road from a two lane to a four lane facility. Study limits extend from Babcock Street (State Road 507) to US 1, a distance of approximately 3.64 miles. The need for this widening is based on projected increases in traffic volume.

The meeting is Tuesday, May 6, 2014 at the Palm Bay (Health First) Hospital Auditorium located at 1425 Malabar Road NE in Palm Bay.  It is an open house from 5:00 p.m. to 7:00 p.m.  Attendees may review study information, watch an automated video presentation and discuss the design alternatives with the study team. This meeting provides interested persons an opportunity to express their views concerning the social, economic and environmental impacts of the proposed design alternatives.
