FDOT making traffic changes on State Road 16 near Green Acres Road

The Florida Department of Transportation is hosting a public meeting Nov. 3 to discuss median modifications at State Road 16 and Green Acres Road. An open house will be held at the St. Johns County Public Library System at 1960 N Ponce De Leon Blvd. from 4:30 to 6 p.m., followed by a presentation and public comment period at 6 p.m. According to an FDOT news release, the project proposes the construction of a directional median at the intersection to enhance safety and traffic operations for motorists, pedestrians, bicyclists and other corridor users. "FDOT would require the developer to construct a directional median at the intersection in accordance with current FDOT median opening spacing standards," noted the release. Under the proposed configuration, westbound drivers on State Road 16 would turn left onto Green Acres Road while drivers exiting Green Acres Road would be restricted to right turns onto State Road 16. A U-turn option would be available approximately 500 feet east at SR 16 and Harvest Lane. "The proposed modifications are associated with a permit request from Southeast Investments Inc. to develop nearby properties for commercial use," noted the release. "The improvements are intended to enhance safety, manage access and
