Some natural areas of activity (nodes) are also contained in the area, including the Manatee Viewing Center to the north (not shown). The two main corridors connecting these areas of activity (nodes) to the surrounding area are US 41 and Apollo Beach Blvd., which serves as the main access point for housing located west of US 41. AADT for US 41 is between 30,000 AADT and 50,000 AADT, and for Apollo Beach Blvd. is between 10,000 AADT and 15,000 AADT. US 41 directly connects Apollo Beach with Gibsonton and Ruskin, and also connects to east-west corridors like Gibsonton Dr., Big Bend Rd., and E. College Ave. All three of these routes provide access to I-75. HART operates a bus route along this section of US 41, and a proposed mobility center would be located just south of Apollo Beach Blvd. along US 41. 4.1.2 Apollo Beach Zone (OD Analysis) This zone encompasses areas of activity (nodes) at the intersection of US 41 and Apollo Beach Blvd., the residential area along Apollo Beach Blvd., and the Manatee Viewing Center (see Figure 41).
