About

The project proposes interim median modifications to reduce conflict points and improve safety at the intersections of SR 82 with Sunshine Boulevard, Alabama Road, Blackstone Drive/Grant Boulevard, Rue Labeau Circle, Parkdale Boulevard, Bell Boulevard and Columbus Boulevard. The proposed safety improvements will prohibit left-turns from these sidestreets onto SR 82. This traffic will be required to turn right onto SR 82 and make a U-turn at one of the adjacent intersections.  Long term safety improvements continue to be considered and evaluated. 

Public Involvement

A public meeting is being held to present information about the proposed safety improvements. There will be three options to attend the public meeting:
