Recommendation 3A: Reconstruct the Robbins section of E. 131 st Avenue using an Industrial/Commercial Typical Section (Nebraska Avenue to Key West Road). The new typical section for this portion of the corridor is designed to support the existing industrial and commercial land uses, which are not expected to change in the near-term future. The typical section is based on the two-lane undivided urban collector typical section from the Hillsborough County Transportation Technical Manual and features a 64-foot right-of-way requirement. The typical section includes two 11- foot travel lanes with type F curb and gutter, seven- foot bicycle lanes, five-foot planting strips, five-foot sidewalks and two-foot sodded area for utilities. Where left turn lanes are required, the right of way should be expanded to continue the provision
of multimodal features such as bicycle lanes, sidewalks and planting strips. This typical section addresses sidewalk gaps around the CSX Railway crossing and substandard sidewalks along the rest of the corridor. In addition, this typical section involves enough right-of-way to be converted to a typical section more suited to denser development in the event that the industrial and commercial parcels redevelop. For a graphical representation, please see Figure 3-7 .
