SR524 Project Development & Environment (PD&E) Public Information Meeting

This PD&E study is being conducted to determine the location and conceptual design of the preferred roadway improvements, and the associated social, economic, and environmental effects of the improvements. The proposed roadway improvements include widening the current two-lane rural roadway to a four-lane divided roadway. In addition to evaluating a no build alternative, the study is evaluating several alternatives to improve mobility and enhance multi-modal opportunities, including bicycle and pedestrian facilities. The public meeting is being held to present information and receive community feedback.

The Department is offering multiple ways for the community to participate in the meeting. All participants, regardless of platform they choose, will receive the same information on the proposed project.
