Client:
City of Tampa, Florida
Background:
The City of Tampa has a comprehensive program to address system wide
traffic safety improvements through a partnership with the Florida DOT. An
updated review of downtown intersections was undertaken to identify and to
prioritize opportunities for installing curb extensions. A variety of factors
that influence safety and comfort for people crossing streets were documented
for each intersection. The 129 intersections in the study area were prioritized
to identify where curb extensions are currently feasible, or are feasible with
minor revisions to lane alignments. The goal to meet the State’s Complete
Streets Policy through continued development was implemented via this project
and included the following activities:
- Creation of custom priority evaluation
- Development of proposal materials for grant funding
- Evaluate design and construction factors
- Benefit/Cost Analysis
