U.S. 19 PD&E Study from Red Level to NW 140th Street in Chiefland (Citrus and Levy Counties)
Overview

The Florida Department of Transportation (FDOT) has begun a Project Development and Environment (PD&E) study to consider improvements to US 19 in Citrus and Levy Counties. This project, conducted in accordance with 339.67 of the Florida Statutes, will study ways to achieve free flow traffic conditions along US 19 from the terminus of Suncoast Parkway 2 Phase 3 north to NW 140th Street in Chiefland. In February 2022, FDOT held a series of public meetings to ask for feedback about the proposed project. Additional public meetings are expected.

FDOT is currently working to gather and analyze data for the PD&E study of US 19. In the coming weeks and months, you may see project staff in the field as part of this data collection. They may be surveying the right-of-way, measuring noise with tripods and microphones, taking pictures, making notes, or possibly even digging holes and sifting through dirt. Information gathered through such activities provides project staff with details necessary to carefully complete the PD&E Study. FDOT District Two is committed to being a good local partner, and we will continue to keep you updated about our progress on this project. We appreciate your cooperation as we gather this important data.

During the PD&E study, FDOT will:

  • Host public kick-off meetings to introduce and explain the project and ask for public feedback
  • Coordinate with local governments to obtain input on the development of alternatives
  • Develop initial alternatives
  • Conduct public meetings/workshops about initial alternatives
  • Refine alternatives based on public feedback
  • Submit alternatives for analysis of natural, physical, cultural, and socioeconomic involvement
  • Hold public hearing for recommended alternative

FDOT District Two to Host Public PD&E Kick-off Meetings

FDOT District Two is beginning a Project Development and Environment (PD&E) study to consider improvements to US 19 in Citrus and Levy counties. Throughout the study, FDOT will hold public meetings, and the first meetings will be a series of three PD&E public kick-off meetings.

During the public kick-off meetings, FDOT will provide an overview of the project, its purpose, and its planned schedule. Project staff will be there to answer questions and receive feedback from the public.

There are three public meeting opportunities as part of the PD&E kick-off. FDOT will host one virtual meeting as well as in-person meetings in Chiefland and Inglis. The same information will be shared at all three meetings, and attendees will have the opportunity to ask questions of project staff. Pre-registration is required to attend the virtual meeting to obtain a unique log-in link for each user, and participants can register for the virtual meeting at any time until the meeting ends.
