The Florida Department of Transportation (FDOT) District Seven held a PAG Meeting to provide an overview of the SR 580 Corridor Study from Alt. US 19/SR 595/Broadway to Tampa Road being conducted in Pinellas County, Florida.
This project coordinated with Forward Pinellas Metropolitan Planning Organization (MPO) and the Cities of Dunedin, Clearwater, Safety Harbor, Oldsmar and unincorporated portions of Pinellas County to develop potential solutions that establish safer multimodal environment utilizing a context-sensitive approach. This study will involve a community-based evaluation to determine how best to meet the needs of current and future users, and to establish a long-term plan to guide evolution of the corridor that appropriately correlates the balance between land use and transportation planning.
The result of the SR 580 Corridor Planning Study will include the development of a Corridor Development Plan, which will identify a range of multi-modal solutions to address the mobility needs within a context that reflects the long-term vision for the study corridor. The Corridor Development Plan will include short, mid and long-term implementation strategies that guide future development within the corridor, as well as specific improvements that can potentially be advanced in the near term though local agency participation and/or by FDOT.
At the PAG Meeting, the study team were provided interactive roll plots for comments and input, an overview of the study process and project schedule. The project team worked cooperatively with attendees to identify community issues, goals and preferences in the project study area.
Those who could not attend the in-person meeting, could attend the virtual GoTo Meeting.
