The public is invited to weigh in on proposed improvements to U.S. 92 (Hillsborough Ave) Thursday night at a public hearing. 

  • Public invited to weigh in on proposed improvement to U.S. 92 
  • FDOT considers widening Hillsborough Ave. 

FDOT is considering widening the 18-mile stretch from I-4 to county line road. 

Some people fear that widening the road could bring more traffic to the area. 

"It's more important for people to keep their homes and businesses other than all this traffic and wider roads to take their property from them," said Steve Willett.

Others say that traffic gets backed up daily on Hillsborough Ave at the I-4 exit - and that a wider road could help ease the congestion. 

If you would like to weigh in and look at some of the design concepts, the hearing will be held tonight from 5:30 p.m. to 7:30 p.m. at the HCC Trinkle Center in Plant City, located at 1206 N Park Rd, Plant City.
