This is the project information meeting for the Anclote Road roadway and storm water improvements. Preliminary engineering report, the project limits extend from Anclote Boulevard to alternate US 19, North, Pinellas Avenue for approximately 2.4 miles. The study scope includes examining existing conditions, evaluation of needs and deficiencies and development of concepts for potential future improvements.

The existing roadway typical section consists of two nine and a half to ten foot Lanes with roadside swales and sidewalks at some locations. The corridor characteristics include a posted speed of 35 miles per hour, four 90 degree curves extensive pavement, cracking localized, flooding and environmentally sensitive areas. The project will evaluate the existing pavement condition, roadway section characteristics, sidewalk connectivity and localized flooding. Some of the existing local stakeholders are listed here. It is important to get comments and feedback from as many stakeholders as possible. The project area's future land uses include industrial, commercial and residential developments.

The project improvements will provide improved connections to businesses, residents and Alternate team. The area is growing and undeveloped areas will provide opportunity for additional employment growth.

The preliminary engineering report will focus on drainage, water, quality, roadway and safety improvements, along with providing an environment to encourage Economic Development. The preliminary engineering evaluation includes the elements highlighted in the Yellow Boxes. The public Outreach is an important element, as it allows the public and stakeholders to provide their comments and suggestions for the project area.

The preliminary engineering evaluation will break the project into three-phase areas, as shown here. The project improvements will allow for potential Trail connections as separate projects to the coastal Anclote Trail, and the alpha spur Trail. Two primary roadway, typical sections are being evaluated for the project. Alternative number one includes two 11 foot wide Lanes, a 10-foot multi-use path and sidewalk at some locations. In addition, swales and other inlets and pipes will be provided for drainage and water quality.

In existing conditions, the lanes are only nine and a half to ten feet. Wide alternative number two includes two 11 foot wide Lanes on street bike lanes and sidewalk. In addition, swales and other inlets and pipes will be provided for drainage and water quality. There is less available right-of-way in phase three and the two Alternatives have been modified. Alternative number one includes two 11 foot wide Lanes, a six to eight foot, wide sidewalk and curve and gutter. In addition, other inlets and pipes will be provided for improved drainage.

Alternative number two includes two 10 foot wide Lanes four foot wide on-street bike lanes and six foot wide sidewalk. In addition, other inlets and pipes will be provided for improved drainage. The public community and stakeholder input is very important for this project. We encourage your comments, suggestions and questions. Pinellas County has created a project website to provide project, information and communication to the public. Please reach out to the County's project manager, Jeff antonacci. If you have any specific questions and need additional information, the next steps will review and consider public comments.

The project analysis will continue with evaluating the roadway sections and making a recommendation environmental impacts, floodplain impacts along with safety. The per is anticipated to be completed in 2023.

This will be followed by a project, development and environmental PD e study in 2024 following the PD e, the county will evaluate funding and select an alternative for final design. Thank you for your interest and input.
