About

Proposed improvements consist of converting the full median openings at Blanton Lane and Hilltop Road to bi-directional openings. These changes will allow eastbound traffic on U.S. 441 to make a left turn onto Three Lakes Park, and westbound traffic to make a left turn onto Hilltop Road and Blanton Lane. Traffic from Blanton Lane, Hilltop Road and Three Lakes Park will only be able to turn right onto U.S. 441. These safety improvements will help reduce the number of conflict points at these intersections.

The public hearing will be Thursday, March 5, 2020, at the Activity Center at First United Methodist Church of Tavares, 601 N. Barrow Avenue, Tavares, FL 32778. The hearing will begin as an informational open house at 5 p.m. and the formal presentation will begin at 6 p.m., followed by public comments.

A court reporter will be present to record proceedings, and assist with comments, as part of the project record. Written comments can be submitted at the hearing, sent by mail to Dave Mixon, Florida Department of Transportation, 719 S. Woodland Boulevard M.S. 562, DeLand, FL 32720-6834; or emailed to Dave.Mixon@dot.state.fl.us no later than Monday, March 16, 2020.
