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

DATE AND TIME: September 14, 2017, 10:00 a.m. – 12:00 Noon

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 review the results of the visioning charrettes, online survey, and Wikimapping tool that the project team have used to collect input about the project corridor, and the project team will present preliminary results of the visioning effort. This is an opportunity to discuss emerging themes to guide the corridor vision that will lead to proposed short and long term recommendations. These 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.
