Public hearing on Fruitland rest areas set for Thursday

Tuesday, February 1, 2011

The Missouri Department of Transportation will hold a public hearing Thursday to discuss converting the Fruitland rest areas to commercial vehicle parking. The meeting will be from 4 to 6 p.m. at the Osage Centre in Cape Girardeau. It will have an open-house format, so visitors can stop by to talk with a member of the project team at any time. No formal presentation will be given. The project involves demolition of each rest area facility and construction of commercial vehicle parking, including a vault-type rest room. For more information, call 573-472-5261 or 888-275-6636. Online meeting information, including a YouTube video and the meeting handout, is also available at: http://www.modot.org/southeast/news_and_information/public_meetings/FruitlandRes....
