This Public Hearing is being held as part of the Project Development and Environment (PD&E) Study for the SR A1A over Sebastian Inlet - Bridge Replacement. A PD&E Study is FDOT's process to evaluate the social, economic, and environmental impacts associated with a planned transportation improvement project. The purpose of this project is to address the structural and functional deficiencies of the existing bridge and the gap in system linkage for bicyclists and pedestrians. The Public Hearing will be held virtually on Tuesday, December 13 and in-person on Thursday, December 15, 2022. The Public Hearing will begin at 5:30 p.m. with an open house.

A formal presentation will begin at 6:00 p.m., followed by a public comment period. These meetings are being conducted to give interested persons an opportunity to learn about the preferred alternative. The public hearing also serves as an official forum providing an opportunity for members of the public to express their views on the preferred alternative.

The same information will be presented at both the virtual and in-person Public Hearing so attending both is not necessary. Project information can be viewed on the project website: www.fdot.gov/projects/SebastianInletBridge.

Public participation is solicited without regard to race, color, national origin, age, sex, religion, disability, or family status. Persons who require accommodations under the Americans with Disabilities Act or persons who require translation services (free of charge) should be requested at least seven days prior to the meeting.
