Lithia Pinecrest Road PD&E
Lithia Pinecrest Road PD&E
Welcome to the public engagement opportunity for the Lithia Pinecrest Road from Fishhawk Boulevard to Lumsden Road Project Development and Environment (PD&E) Study. Your responses will help Hillsborough County gain insight into the community’s desire for the proposed road improvements. This virtual public engagement will be open from May 14 to June 10, 2024.
Step 1
About the project
The purpose of the study is to relieve congestion and enhance safety on Lithia Pinecrest Road. The study will identify and evaluate potential improvements to Lithia Pinecrest Road from Fishhawk Boulevard approximately 6.2 miles to Lumsden Road, and on Bloomingdale Avenue from Culbreath Road to Pearson Road, as shown on the map below. The total project length is 7.5 miles.
Safe mobility for all roadway users, regardless of mode of travel, will be considered and incorporated into the study and the alternatives evaluated. Alternatives are being generated based on the result of a traffic analysis and feedback provided by the community. These alternatives may include:
- Widening for additional through lane capacity
- Access management improvements to incorporate turn lanes onto side streets
- Intersection analysis to evaluate roundabout alternatives and other intersection configurations
- Improved pedestrian and bicycle accommodations including shared-use paths, a connected sidewalk system, buffered bike lanes, mid-block crossings, etc.
- Moderating travel speeds to improve safety through reduced lane widths, lane deflections, landscaping, and context-based roadway treatments, etc.
