 COLLIER COUNTY, Fla. – The Florida Department of Transportation (FDOT) invites you to a public meeting for the Livingston FPL Trail Extension Project Development and Environment (PD&E) Study from Radio Road to the Collier County line in Collier County.

This study will evaluate a new 12-foot-wide separated shared-use path, which is part of the SUN Trail Priority Network. This proposed path would close a critical gap between the existing Rich King Memorial Greenway and Lee County's planned SUN Trail network to the north.

The FDOT is responsible for developing this statewide system of paved non-motorized trails, which are integrated into the Florida Greenways and Trails System planned by the Florida Department of Environmental Protection. The purpose of these trails is to enhance the reliability of Florida's transportation system by providing safe and accessible routes for active transportation.

The Public Meeting is being conducted to present information about the preliminary alternatives and provides the opportunity for the public to express their views about the project. The information presented during either format will be the same and all attendees will have opportunity to comment.
