Westchase Elementary School - West Linebaugh Avenue School Crossing
Welcome to the public engagement opportunity for the Westchase Elementary School West Linebaugh Avenue School Crossing. Your responses will help Hillsborough County gain insight into the proposed crosswalk and safety improvements. This virtual public engagement will be open through June 3, 2025, and the in-person Open House is 6 p.m., Tuesday, May 20, 2025, at Westchase Elementary School, 9517 W. Linebaugh Ave., Tampa, FL 33626.
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.
