The Florida Department of Transportation (FDOT) invites you to a public hearing for the San Carlos Boulevard (SR865) Project Development & Environment (PD&E) Study from north of Crescent Street to north of Hurricane Pass Bridge, also known as Hurricane Bay Bridge. The public hearing will be on February 3, 2022.

• The in-person open house will begin at 5 p.m. at The Chapel by the Sea Presbyterian Church at 100 Chapel Street, Fort Myers Beach.
• The virtual and in-person hearing and testimony portion will begin at 6 p.m.

The purpose of this project is to provide additional travel options on a congested corridor, especially during the peak tourist season from January through April. The project is designed to enhance mobility and safety for vehicular and non-vehicular transportation and increase accessibility and connections between community points of interest. The proposed project is also intended to promote emphasis for alternative transportation use and increase public transit ridership.
