Subject:	You are invited to attend and participate in the Kick-off Meeting for the Drew Street (SR 590) Corridor Study and Concept Evaluation. The Florida Department of Transportation (FDOT) District Seven has scheduled an Elected Officials and Agencies Project Kick-off Meeting to provide an overview of the Drew Street Corridor Study from North Osceola Avenue to US 19 being conducted in Pinellas County, Florida. This project will be coordinated with Pinellas County, the City of Clearwater, Forward Pinellas Metropolitan Planning Organization (MPO) and the Pinellas Suncoast Transit Authority (PSTA) to develop potential solutions that establish a safer multimodal environment utilizing a context-sensitive approach. This study will build upon a community-based Drew Street Concept Plan, completed in September 2018 to evaluate the recommendations from the study, identify additional alternatives, and ultimately provide an engineering analysis of impacts and design considerations of the preferred concepts. The study will determine how best to meet the needs of current and future users, and establish a long-term plan to guide evolution of the corridor that appropriately correlates the balance between land use and transportation planning. At the Kick-Off Meeting, the study team will provide an overview of the study process and project schedule and will work cooperatively with attendees to identify community issues, goals and preferences in the project study area. Additional current and future Drew Street project information may be found at this website: https://www.fdotd7studies.com/DrewStreet.
