FDOT to host public meeting for interstate changes

Columbia County, in partnership with the Florida Department of Transportation (FDOT), will host a hybrid public meeting to discuss proposed interchange improvements to the I-75 at U.S. 441/U.S. 41 intersection, including access management improvements at SW Howell Street.

The hybrid public meeting for the I-75 at U.S. 441/U.S. 41 interchange improvements project will be held Monday, Nov. 18 at the Mason City Community Center.

The project proposes operational improvements to the I-75 at U.S. 441/U.S. 41 interchange (commonly referred to as the Ellisville interchange) by signalizing the ramp intersections, adding turn lanes, extending existing storage lanes, and accommodating U-turn movements.

South of the Ellisville interchange, the project proposes enhanced safety by converting the existing full median opening at SW Howell Street and U.S. 441/U.S. 41 to a directional median opening and providing a new signalized intersection 1,500 feet south of SW Howell Street. The movements removed from the SW Howell Street and U.S. 441/U.S. 41 intersection will be accommodated through a new roadway called Ellisville Access Road.

All participants, regardless of the platform they choose, will receive the same information on the proposed project and all comments received in-person, virtually, or electronically will be given equal consideration.

After months of legal wrangling, Rudy Giuliani on Friday turned over his luxury sports car, several watches, a ring and financial assets to two Georgia election workers he defamed in the aftermath of the 2020 presidential election, his lawyer wrote Friday. A federal jury ordered Giuliani last year to pay Ruby Freeman and Shaye Moss nearly $150 million for defaming them with false accusations that the mother and daughter committed election fraud while the two were counting ballots in Georgia's Fulton County on Election Day in 2020. The attorneys for both sides waged a back in forth in court for months over the delivery of those assets and, last week, attorneys representing Freeman and Moss said Giuliani's apartment was virtually empty when their receivership entered the property.
