GENERAL SUBJECT MATTER TO BE CONSIDERED: The Florida Department of Transportation, District 7 in cooperation with Forward Pinellas, will be holding an Alternate US 19 (SR 595) Corridor Studies Kick-Off Meeting for elected officials and agency representatives within the study limits. The corridor is divided into two (2) study segments. The southern segment begins at Park Street North and ends at Belleair Road. This 11-mile segment traverses through the cities of Largo and Seminole. The northern segment is from Belleair Road to the Pinellas/Pasco County Line. That 17.9 mile segment is located in western Pinellas County, and traverses through the cities of Clearwater, Dunedin and Tarpon Springs, as well as unincorporated Palm Harbor. The purpose of the studies are to work with the community, stakeholders and a Project Advisory Group (PAG) to develop a vision and identify needs and issues. At the kick-off meeting, we hope to identify PAG participants from those areas to help develop a vision for the corridor that will guide proposed short- and long-term recommendations. This may include issues relating to capacity, traffic operations, safety, access and egress, freight movements, transit, bicycles, and pedestrian movements. Financial Project ID Number(s): 435909-1-22-01 and 435909-2-22-01.
