The purpose of this project is to improve pedestrian safety along West Linebaugh Avenue, specifically in front of Westchase Elementary School, a location that meets the FDOT criteria of hazardous walking conditions. To address these safety concerns, a new pedestrian signalized midblock crosswalk is being proposed. This crosswalk would help ensure safer pedestrian crossings by alerting and slowing vehicle traffic.

Additional improvements would include sidewalk enhancements and extensions, the construction of ADA-compliant ramps, upgraded curbing, and new pavement markings.
