Alachua County Public Works will host a public meeting on Wednesday, Nov. 18, 2026, from 5:30 to 6:30 p.m. to discuss planned intersection safety improvements on Northwest 43rd Street, north of Northwest 23rd Avenue.
The meeting will be held in Room B at the Alachua County Public Library’s Millhopper Branch (3145 NW 43rd St., Gainesville).
The open-house-style meeting will give residents an opportunity to learn about the project, review the proposed improvements and provide feedback. There will be no formal presentation.
The project is currently in the design phase and will add a traffic separator on Northwest 43rd Street, extending from the intersection north to the existing median at Northwest 25th Place. The separator will restrict left turns to and from minor access points along Northwest 43rd Street.
The improvements are intended to reduce the frequency and severity of angle and left-turn crashes along this section of Northwest 43rd Street.
For more information, contact Alachua County Contracts and Design Manager James Flegert at 352-548-1218 or jflegert@alachuacounty.gov.
