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.

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.
