FDOT Public Hearing Tonight On Possibly Four-Laning Nine Mile Road

June 24, 2014

The Florida Department of Transportation will hold a public hearing tonight concerning the future of Nine Mile Road, including a possible four-laning project.

The proposed improvements include widening a portion Nine Mile Road from two to four lanes, installing additional drainage and storm water treatment ponds, constructing sidewalks, and the design and construction of medians and median openings within the study limits.

The hearing is being held to give interested persons an opportunity to express their views concerning the location, conceptual design, and social, economic and environmental effects of the proposed project.

The public hearing will take place from 5:30 until 6:30 p.m. at Plainview Baptist Church, 1101 West Nine Mile Road. The hearing will begin as an open house at 5:30 p.m., followed with a formal presentation at 6 p.m.

Draft study documents and other information depicting the proposed improvements will be available for public review at the hearing. Documents may also be viewed at the FDOT Milton Operations Office, 6025 Old Bagdad Highway and at American Consulting Professionals, 4489 Woodbine Road, Pace, until Monday, July 7.

    It would be nice if consideration were given to the widening of Pine Forest Road from I-10 to north of 9 Mile Road.

    It’s my understanding that this project had been on the books for a few years; at one point, even having a scheduled date for widening. Then, instead of widening, they repaved portions and provided a few left-turn lanes. Me thinks the money went someplace else! Perhaps the people in charge should visit our area during rush hour traffic.
