Transportation Infrastructure Assessment Findings
The Transportation Assessment included a review of the existing roadway conditions along Hillsborough County maintained roadways and state facilities based on available data. The review of congestion, mobility, and safety conditions included data for volume to capacity ratios, travel time index, Context Classifications, pavement conditions, existing truck routes, existing HART routes, and crash patterns. Based on a review of the existing volume to capacity ratios and Context Classification considerations, the following roadways are recommended for complete street and safety improvements which could include speed reduction, improved facilities for all modes, and congestion reduction measures: • 50th Street from Clifton to Hanna Avenue • Hanna Avenue from 50th Street to Harney Road • Harney Road from Hillsborough Avenue to Sligh Avenue • Orient Road from Hillsborough Avenue to Sligh Avenue • Sligh Avenue from 52nd Street to Orient Road • 56th Street from Hillsborough Avenue to Sligh Avenue • Hillsborough Avenue from 56th Street Orient Road
Intersection safety improvements are recommended at the following intersections based on a pattern of crash types. Improvements should take into consideration access management strategies, lane geometry, existing pedestrian and bike facilities, and sight distance, following a detailed safety analysis at the intersection locations.
• N 50th Street & Diana Street • Sligh Avenue & N 56th Street • Harney Road & Sligh Avenue
• Harney Road & Hillsborough Avenue • Orient Road & Hillsborough Avenue
Based on the pavement condition index of County maintained roadways in the study area, the following roadways have poor to very poor pavement condition and are recommended to be considered for major rehabilitation: • Hanna Avenue from 50th Street to 54th Street • Hanna Avenue from Pine Grove Road to Orient Road • Diana Street from 50th Street to 56th Street
To further identify the project scopes for the transportation improvements, identifying the required funding sources, public engagement, and coordination with partner agencies including the City of Tampa and Florida Department of Transportation, should be completed.
