Existing Conditions Almanac

  • East Sligh From N. Florida to N. Nebraska, 0.5 miles.
  • No Transit Stations on E. Sligh.
  • Extensive bus routes are found on N. Florida and N. Nebraska.
  • Limited, to no, amenities offered at surrounding bus stops.
  • No active buffered or non-buffered bicycle lanes
  • 5 Pedestrian Crossings

Zoning

RO Residential Office: Primarily for low density residential development and low intensity office uses compatible with residential neighborhoods. Minimum lot size is 5000 square feet, 1 unit per 5000 sq. ft. Maximum height is 35 feet. CG Commercial-general: Variety of retail and commercial service activities can be conducted compatible with surrounding uses and residential districts. Minimum lot size is 10000 square feet. Maximum height is 45 feet. RS Residential Single Family: Provides areas primarily for low density single-family detached dwellings. Maximum height is 35 feet. CN Commercial-neighborhood: This district provides areas for limited retail and personal services in residential neighborhoods. CI Commercial-intensive: This district provides areas for intense commercial activity, permitting heavy commercial and service uses. Minimum lot size is 10000 square feet. Maximum height is 45 feet.

Traffic Count

2014: 26,249 2018: 29,280 2018: 18,669 2014: 16,944

2014: 22,000 2015: 22,500 2016: 22,500 2017: 23,500

  • Traffic counts by FDOT stations

indicate slightly higher traffic volumes

  • Traffic volumes east of I-275

indicate the corridor could be a potential candidate for a road diet.

  • To accommodate a road diet, future

travel demands will needed to be shifted to other forms of transportation.

Bicycle Connections

https://www.strava.com/onboarding

  • No bicycle paths on East Sligh

segment

  • Limited connectivity to activity

centers.

  • A connected bike network

would be consistent with Hillsborough County’s Imagine 2040 Long Range Transportation Plan

  • Included in TBARTA’s Regional

Multi Use Trail Network as a “Conceptual Trail”

35 MPH 40 MPH 55-65 MPG

Legend

  • Speed reduction mechanisms to

consider include; landscaped median (with pedestrian refuge), lane shifts, roundabouts, street trees and

  • n-street parking.
  • Passive vs. protective street

design

SLIDE 18

2025 Improvements

  • 2025
  • Enhancement to all side street crosswalks applying PROWAG

and NACTO standards.

  • Left turn lane elimination at N. Florida intersection, bike lane

and increased sidewalk width.

  • All improvements fit within the existing right of way

Crosswalk design guidelines (NACTO Urban street design Guide)

  • Stripe all signalized crossings to reinforce yielding of vehicles

turning during a green signal phase.

  • Street lighting should be provided at all intersections, with

additional care and emphasis taken at and near crosswalks.

  • Accessible curb ramps are required by the Americans with

Disabilities Act (ADA) at all crosswalks.

2040 Improvements

  • All improvements take place within the existing right of way, no

acquisition for additional right of way required.

  • Channelized off ramp
  • Implementing bike lanes and wider sidewalks
  • Solar flashing crosswalk lights
  • Underpass lighting and art
  • Additional landscaping and stormwater management
  • Additional recreational and transit amenities

East Sligh From I-275 Heading East to N. Nebraska Integrate pervious strips into median

  • section. Using native landscaping and

maximum 2% gentle side slope to direct flow into the facility. Future and current traffic projections support a road diet for Sligh Ave East of I-

  • 275. Grid network and enhanced non

motorized travel options will allow for successfully diversion of traffic flow, if needed.

TDM Measure to further reduce VMT

  • In addition to protected bike lanes further TDM measures

can include;

  • Congestion pricing
  • Carsharing/ Bike sharing
  • Telework
  • Standardized wayfinding
  • Unlimited transit passes or transit subsides

Why Solar Roads?

  • Illuminated lighting
  • Renewable energy
  • Safer driving condition
  • High durability (20 to 40years)
  • Less pollution
  • Pay for itself

Future Plug in Charging Stations

  • Electric cars sale has

increased to 81% in 2018.

  • USA is second large country

in usage of electric vehicles

  • By 2030 there are 130

million electric vehicles on the road*

  • 90% of passenger cars will be

electric in USA by 2040#
