EXECUTIVE SUMMARY:

executive summary

The Florida Department of Transportation (FDOT) is finalizing construction plans to widen SR-714 (SW Martin Highway) from SW Citrus Boulevard to Florida’s Turnpike.  As part of the project and to improve intersection safety, the FDOT has agreed to reconstruct SW Leighton Farm Avenue so that it will intersect with SW Deggeller Court.  The existing and proposed SW Leighton Farm Avenue are in County right-of-way, so the FDOT is requesting a Memorandum of Agreement to designate and set forth the responsibilities of each party during and after the construction.
