A public hearing about safety improvements on the Westside’s San Juan Avenue is being hosted Tuesday, Jan. 12, by the Florida Department of Transportation.
The meeting will preview two upcoming changes.
The section of San Juan between U.S. 17 and Herschel Street will be narrowed from three lanes to two, in an effort to reduce the number of crashes.
The department also wants to close part of San Juan near the Noble House Assisted Living Facility to finish adding a crosswalk.
The hearing is from 4 to 6 p.m. Staff will be answering questions online and by phone at (914) 614-3221.
