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 Study teams have engaged local agencies, elected officials, residents, and members of the traveling public through Project Advisory Group (PAG) meetings, online surveys, online Wikimapping tool, and a series of charrettes in order to develop a Draft Vision for the corridor. You’re invited to attend the Visioning Workshops to hear about the teams’ preliminary findings and provide your input on the draft Corridor Vision. The same information will be presented at both workshops. 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. The 17.9 mile northern segment is traverses through the cities of Clearwater, Dunedin and Tarpon Springs, as well as unincorporated Palm Harbor. At the workshop, you will have an opportunity to see a presentation of the goals of the overall corridor study, activities to date, emerging themes and project guidng principles. You will also have an opportunity to provide comments through interactive tools and one-on-one discussion with the study team. The Corridor Vision and project guiding principles will help to inform proposed short-term and long-term improvements. Improvements may address issues relating to capacity, traffic operations, safety, access and egress, transit, bicycles, and pedestrian movements.
