Subject:	You are invited to attend and participate in the first Project Advisory Group (PAG) meeting for the 56th Street/50th Street Corridor Planning Study. The Project Advisory Group will be engaged in the review of products and at key decision points in the Study process. The commitment of Project Advisory Group Members is to participate in four (4) meetings throughout the Study which last about two hours each. The Florida Department of Transportation (FDOT) District Seven has scheduled the first PAG Meeting to provide an overview of the 56th Street/50th Street Corridor Planning Study from the Selmon Expressway to Fletcher Avenue being conducted in Hillsborough County, Florida. The meeting is intended to identify short-term safety improvements to advance and set the stage for the long-term Vision and for the Purpose and Need. This project will be coordinated with Hillsborough County, the City of Tampa, the City of Temple Terrace, the Hillsborough Metropolitan Planning Organization (MPO), and the Hillsborough Area Regional Transit Authority’s (HART) to develop potential solutions that improve multimodal safety, operations, and connectivity. The 56th Street corridor from Sligh Avenue to Busch Boulevard/Bullard Parkway was identified by the Hillsborough MPO as a Vision Zero corridor, meaning it was identified as a corridor with a high number of severe crashes leading to fatalities and incapacitating injuries. The study will determine how best to meet the needs of current and future users, and establish a long-term plan to guide the evolution of the corridor to appropriately balance land use and transportation planning. At the PAG Meeting, the study team will provide a debrief from the optional walking review scheduled for June 23rd, as well as existing conditions and key takeaways from stakeholder interviews.
