Calendar and text that says Public Meeting

The Florida Department of Transportation (FDOT) will be hosting a project open house about proposed improvements on Ellis Road from west of John Rodes Boulevard to west of Wickham Road on Wednesday, October 1.

The open house will be held in person from 5:30 p.m. to 7 p.m. at Serenity Venue, 3980 Sarno Road, Suite 103, Melbourne, FL 32934. Attendees will have an opportunity to view a looping presentation and project displays, speak with project team members, and submit comments or questions.

The FDOT is also offering online opportunities to get involved:

Join an online webinar at 5:30 p.m. to watch a project presentation and submit written questions or comments using the webinar questions box. To attend using this option, register on the FDOT website. Please make sure to provide adequate time to log in to view the presentation in its entirety.
Visit the project website at your convenience. Visitors to the page may watch the project presentation, view project exhibits, and submit comments and questions directly to the project manager. Project materials will be available beginning Wednesday, October 1, and will be the same as what will be shared at the in-person open house. While the information will remain on the website throughout the project, please provide comments or questions by Monday, October 13, 2025, to have the comments included in the open house record.

The purpose of the project is to increase capacity along Ellis Road by widening the existing roadway. This project is being completed through a partnership with FDOT, Brevard County, the cities of Melbourne and West Melbourne, and the Space Coast Transportation Planning Organization.

The open house is an opportunity for the community to learn about the project plans and provide feedback.

FDOT and project partners are seeking feedback from nearby property owners, business owners, interested persons, organizations, and the general public regarding this project and the proposed improvements.
