Subject:	The Florida Department of Transportation, District Seven, in cooperation with Forward Pinellas, is conducting a safety action plan for the US 19 (SR 55) frontage roads. The 11.5-mile segment runs from north of 49th Street to north of SR 580 (Main Street) and traverses through the cities of Pinellas Park, Largo, and Clearwater, as well as unincorporated Pinellas County. The purpose of the plan is to work with the community stakeholders and public agency partners to objectively identify needs and evaluate possible changes to improve multimodal safety, operations, and connectivity within the study corridor. As a stakeholder or business/property owner along this corridor, we’re inviting you to participate in a Focus Group Meeting. Last fall, this group met to review corridor existing conditions and project needs. During this session, we’ll share a brief overview of work done to date, and the focus of the meeting will be sharing preliminary concepts for potential changes along the roadway including the addition of on-street and separated bicycle facilities. There will be opportunities to provide input on the concepts, especially as they relate to the area of influence of your business/property. We want to hear what you’d like to see on the US 19 Frontage Roads! This meeting is open to all corridor business/property owners. You may forward this invitation to other business/property owners along the US 19 Frontage Roads who may be interested in participating.
