Open House

A Open House for the I-175 Action Plan was held on Monday, March 3, 2025, from 3:00pm – 7:00pm at the USF St. Petersburg Campus (Student Center), 200 6th Ave S, St. Petersburg, FL 33701.

You’re Invited! Join us for a community meeting about the I-175 Action Plan and share your thoughts on the future of transportation in downtown St. Petersburg!

This is an informal opportunity to talk with us, share your experiences, and provide valuable input. There will be no presentation—just conversations that matter.

We want to hear from YOU about:

  • Mobility Challenges: Share concerns about traffic, pedestrian safety, bicycle accessibility, or places where connections between neighborhoods and key destinations could be improved.
  • Your Vision for the Future: What features would make traveling to, from, and within the corridor easier and more enjoyable? We’re here to listen.

Why Attend? Share your thoughts and ideas in a casual setting. Connect with project team members and neighbors. Help us create a connected and accessible downtown for everyone. Stop by anytime during the meeting to chat with us. We look forward to hearing your insights!

The public plays an important role in the study development and decision-making process of this study. Opportunities for you to provide your input will be available throughout the study. There are multiple ways to get involved — call, write, or email us.

Comments can be made at the open house, by visiting the Send Us Your Comments page, or by contacting the FDOT Project Manager Brian Hunter at (813) 975-6436 or Brian.Hunter@dot.state.fl.us. It is important to us to receive your comments on the I-175 corridor.
