PANAMACITY -- The Florida Department of Transportation will host a public information meeting concerning proposed improvements to U.S. 98 over 23rd Street, Collegiate Drive and the Bay Line Railroad.
The meeting will be held July 31 from 5 p.m. to 6 p.m. CDT, at the Saint Andrews Baptist Church Fellowship Hall, 3010 W. 15th St., Panama City.
FDOT plans to add an elevated roadway at the intersection of U.S. 98 and 23rd Street along with drainage improvements, a stormwater treatment facility, signalization upgrades, new signage and pavement markings. Pedestrian and bicycle features are part of this intersection reconstruction project. The proposed project will enhance safety, reduce travel delays and improve access to and from Port Panama City, Gulf Coast State College and Florida State University Panama City campus. Construction is currently scheduled to begin summer 2015.
Maps, drawings, and other information will be on display. There will be no formal presentation. Representatives from FDOT will be available to answer questions and explain proposed improvements.
