Strategy
Implement the system plan with recognition of local values and conditions. Implement intelligent transportation systems (ITS) that are consistent with adopted County ITS plans and regional architecture to better utilize existing and proposed corridors. Implement the SouthShore Corridor Plan 1 as shown on Map 25 of the Transportation Element. Provide adequate space for alternative modes of transportation such as bikeways, and sidewalks along appropriate transportation corridors. Review new development to determine if the development is within or adjacent to rights-of-way identified on the map to ensure adequate space is available for alternative modes. Assure that the integrity of established communities is protected through accepted techniques and principles of land use transition expressed in the Comprehensive Plan. Ensure additional buffering and wildlife undercrossing(s) are considered for the following roadways: o Rhodine Road Extension o Big Bend Road Extension. Design roadways of appropriate scale to preserve the scenic characteristics of the surrounding area, such as neighborhood identity, historic or environmental features, points of interest, and other aspects of community character. Discourage roadway design that encroaches upon or adversely affects environmentally sensitive areas or publicly owned natural preserves. Develop roadway corridor landscape guidelines that represent the visual identity the community desires to achieve for specific road segments. Encourage appropriate roadway design and/or traffic calming methods to minimize neighborhood traffic intrusion and to protect neighborhoods from adverse impacts of through-traffic. Such designs may include, but
1 The SouthShore Corridor Plan was developed as part of the SouthShore Areawide Systems Plan. The SouthShore Corridor Plan has been incorporated into the SouthShore Corridor Preservation Plan. The Hillsborough County Corridor Preservation Plan (Map 25), adopted as part of the Comprehensive Plan in Appendix J, identifies right-of- way requirements, general alignments, and standards for transportation corridors in the Urban Service Area.
