GENERAL SUBJECT MATTER TO BE CONSIDERED: The Florida Department of Transportation, District Seven in cooperation with Forward Pinellas, is holding an Alternate US 19 (SR 595) Corridor Studies Project Advisory Group (PAG) 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 is to work with the community, stakeholders and PAG to develop a vision and identify needs and issues. At the PAG meeting, participants will identify land uses, future developments, current and anticipated traffic issues, and socio-economic conditions in order to begin the visioning process. The vision for the corridor 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.
