2. EXISTING CONDITIONS
A. Introduction In order to contextualize the corridor in terms of the baseline factors, the existing conditions section inventories and analyzes the current and future transportation, land use, urban design, and demographic information. This information, along with stakeholder input, will form the basis of recommendations to improve the transportation infrastructure and land use vision along the E. 131 st Avenue corridor, consistent with Hillsborough County’s framework for the PLAT process. The primary focus of the study is infrastructure improvements to E. 131 st Avenue and the properties abutting the roadway, the overall study area boundaries extend 1,500 feet in each direction to incorporate the community’s interaction with the project corridor. The project limits extend from N. Nebraska Avenue on the west to Bruce B Downs Boulevard on the east, for a total length of approximately 1.5 miles. The project limits and study area are shown on Figure 2-1.
