On November 13, 2003, the Florida Turnpike Enterprise (FTE) held a Public Information Open House to share with the public the alignments under review for the proposed Suncoast Parkway II.

Feedback from the public were collected in comment forms. The texts of the comments are reproduced here (without name and address). We have read through each one and grouped them under 5 categories.

(1) Forms = The number of forms returned
(2)Respondents = The number of actual respondents (some forms have 2 signees). If a form include 2 names, respondents = 2. Petitions comprising of xeroxed copies of the same page, one for each person, are also grouped in this manner for the sake of brevity.
(3)% Respondents = # Respondents / Total Respondents
(4)% Forms - # Forms / Total Forms returned
