The Florida Department of Transportation, District Seven is hosting a Project Advisory Group Meeting for agency stakeholders and interested parties regarding the Alternate US 19 corridor studies from Park Street North to the Pinellas/Pasco County Line.

DATE AND TIME: April 4, 2018, 10:00 a.m. – 12:00 Noon

PLACE: Clearwater Public Library, 100 N. Osceola Avenue, Main Library Meeting Room A/B, Clearwater, FL 33755

GENERAL SUBJECT MATTER TO BE CONSIDERED: The Florida Department of Transportation, District Seven, in cooperation with Forward Pinellas, is conducting corridor studies of Alternate US 19 (SR 595) within the study limits. The purpose of the studies are to work with the community, stakeholders, and a Project Advisory Group (PAG) to develop a future vision for the corridor and identify needs and issues. 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. At this meeting, PAG participants will be presented with an overview of the corridor issues based on the public and stakeholder input to date and the findings from the traffic operational and safety analyses. A preliminary set of alternative improvements will be available, and a discussion of the draft alternatives and evaluation measures will be facilitated during breakout sessions.  This meeting is an opportunity to review the draft alternatives and discuss potential short- and long-term recommendations. These alternatives will address 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.
