The Florida Department of Transportation (FDOT) is to hold a public meeting at 5:30 p.m. July 20 (Tuesday) about the resurfacing project plans for State Road A1A from South 8th Street to North 18th Street in Flagler Beach.
The purpose of the public meeting is to provide project details and receive community feedback about this project, which is intended to extend the life of the roadway by resurfacing the existing pavement while providing operational and safety improvements.
“There are number of beachside projects in the works, and we want to make sure residents know about the opportunity to learn about the details directly from FDOT,” said Flagler County Administrator Heidi Petito. “Also, this gives our residents a voice by allowing them to provide their input.”

Just me, but where do the dune rebuild projects stand ? Doe sit make sense to repave while those projects would still be requiring heavy equipment to drive on a road that still is functionally solid ? How soon until the pier demolition & rebuild gets underway ? What is the scope of what it takes to construct the pier & anything dunes related. It’s been some time since I’ve read anything about the lone holdout for the dune & A1A projects. that’s going to be coinciding too ? I guess they’ll kick that topic around Flagler Beach at the meeting and come up with the realization that A1A is going to be a mess from end to end, too many projects going on at once ? Maybe their City Council is finally realizing that their tourism attractions are going to be shut down for as long as it takes ?

Might want to see the damage this hurricane season has in store first.
These officials will never be accused of hogging common sense.
They are following the Dem plan of unsustainably and full speed ahead.
Why aren’t we the people voting on what the town spends?
