The Florida Department of Transportation (FDOT), District Seven, is holding the second Project Advisory Group (PAG) meeting for the West Busch Boulevard (SR 580) Corridor Study. The limits of the project extend from North Dale Mabry Highway to North Nebraska Avenue, a distance of approximately 3.3 miles. The corridor study area includes portions of unincorporated Hillsborough County and the City of Tampa. The purpose of the Corridor Study is to work with the community, stakeholders and a Project Advisory Group (PAG) to develop a vision and identify needs and issues in the corridor. The PAG is an important component of the study. It serves as a special advisory resource to the FDOT and the consultant team. The PAG participants will help develop a vision for the corridor that will guide proposed short and long-term recommendations. This may include issues related to capacity, traffic operations, safety, access and egress, mobility, freight movements, transit, bicycles, and pedestrian movements. The environmental review, consultation, and other actions required by applicable federal environmental laws for this project are being, or have been, carried out by the Florida Department of Transportation (FDOT) pursuant to 23 U.S.C. §327 and a Memorandum of Understanding dated December 14, 2016 and executed by the Federal Highway Administration and FDOT.
