Provide for, as development occurs and where possible, the interconnection of internal neighborhood streets, and interconnection to the surrounding transportation network by establishing a basic grid network of access and open space. All currently designated truck routes and proposed new collectors and arterials shall be available for consideration to continue as or as potential new truck routes with the exception of the following roads: o 19 th Ave. N.E. from US 41 to US 301 o 21 st St. extended from SR 674 to Big Bend Rd. o Big Bend Rd. from US 301 to its eastern terminus. To achieve a balance between the need for future road capacity and the need to preserve the community character and environmental resources, the following corridors will be subject to a more detailed examination of alternatives to expansion as community-based planning occurs: o SR 674 between I-75 and Westlake Dr. (Sun City Center, Wimauma and Ruskin) o US 41 between 19 th Ave. N.E. and SR 674 (Ruskin) o US 41 between Elsberry Rd. and Leisey Rd.

Study the potential of water borne craft connections between SouthShore and neighboring places of interest such as St. Petersburg, Tampa, and Sarasota. Participate in and monitor updates to the Hillsborough County Master Sidewalk Plan to establish an interconnected system of sidewalks throughout the area.
