36 Table Exercise 1.Add Stickers and Notes to the Aerial related to the Character Content 2.Select 1 or 2 Speakers to discuss the summaries and important issues for each Corridor Area 36

37 Table Summaries Unincorporated Pinellas County/Palm Harbor Heavy directional vehicle split (southbound Alternate US 19 in AM/northbound Alternate US 19 in PM) Reduced speeds are needed north of Tampa Road through the Palm Harbor High School area Alternate US 19 divides the community breweries/pinellas Trail on one side and bars/restaurants/downtown on the other creates pedestrian conflicts Need wayfinding Need signal or roundabout to improve crossing Tarpon Springs A lot of new redevelopment projects Northern part is dangerous for walking Annexing property Gathering places throughout the corridor, in downtown Not good connections to the trail, want to see more connections Growing area Downtown is almost full, more people in downtown than in the past, hard to move, parking can be difficult Need more lighting 3

38 Table Summaries Dunedin Working on a historic district/scenic corridor want to reduce the speed limit Hotel Fenway under construction Mid block crosswalks needed Downtown connects to Edgewater Park with a lot of special events a lot of turns and pedestrians trying to get to the park, lot of pedestrian crossings in the area People crossing to get to breweries Need additional safety for the trail parallel to Alternate US 19 Turning vehicles turning into the trail safety concern Alternate US 19 at Curlew Road is congested and has lots of trail crossing (would like to see a pedestrian bridge) Clearwater Two character districts School in the south, most students live across the street Marina area studies done, trying to encourage redevelopment Considering a roundabout near the gateway to downtown Room for improvement throughout the City 38

39 Table Summaries North of Park Street/Seminole A lot of redevelopment Veterans affairs office moved from St. Pete a few decades ago A lot of activity around the hospital, turning into VA is challenging in the morning As you come off the bridge, unsignalized intersection with crash issues Pinellas trail comes through, need a better connection to Madeira Beach Tight bike lane (3 ), cyclists use the median to get to the beach A lot of bike/pedestrian/transit demand around the VA A lot of good redevelopment going in, all relying on Alternate US 19 Might be some excess capacity in the northern part Excessive speeding (in Clearwater also) a few instances of cars running into buildings Largo High speed/not a lot of bike/pedestrian south of Ulmerton Road North of Ulmerton Road, higher densities, Largo Mall, more bike/pedestrian traffic Largo Middle is just east of Alternate US 19, Central Park no opportunity to get to central park/downtown looking for physical connection with safe crossing Need help at intersection near the high school Redevelopment happening around downtown A lot of beach cut through traffic A lot of bike/pedestrian accidents in northern Largo A lot of redevelopment in Northern Largo 39
