While the Aimsun software provides us with several unique opportunities and advantages, there are limitations in the software and how it can be utilized for this subarea. The subarea did not include the connection of Fishhawk Blvd/Boyette Road/Gibsonton Drive from Lithia Pinecrest Road
to I-75. This was outside the study area limits, so no improvement projects along this corridor were included, which may have rerouted traffic away from corridors such as Bloomingdale Avenue and Lumsden Road.
