Please see the below letter from Larry Kelley, Secretary of the Florida Department of Transportation. In response to a request I made, the FDOT has decided to move up the resurfacing of Bayou Boulevard, which will now happen later this year.

My thanks to City Manager Al Coby and city staff for their assitance in this matter, and to Mr. Jim DeVries, Urban Planning Manager with the FDOT, Mr. Greg Vickery, FDOT District Communications Coordinator, and Secretary Larry Kelley.
