The current roadway configuration on Jackson Street is as shown below

Existing Condition (Typical Section)

8.5’ 8.5’ 11’ 11’ 11’ 5’ SR 60 RESURFACING PROJECTS

Currently there is parking on both sides of the road, there are 3 travel lanes and a bike lane on eastbound Jackson Street. There is no bike lane on Kennedy Blvd (parallel roadway westbound)

Jackson Street (SR 60 Eastbound) between Ashley Drive and Tampa Street

A dedicated right turn lane was included because of the high number of vehicles turning right on to Tampa Street. Parking is included on both sides of the roadway.

10’ 4’ 8.5’ 12’ 12’ 8.5’ SR 60 RESURFACING PROJECTS

Jackson Street (SR 60 Eastbound) between Tampa Street and Franklin Street and between Florida Avenue and Morgan Street

Traffic volumes are low enough to consider a lane elimination (or road diet) on these segments. Parking is included on both sides of the roadway. Eliminating one of the thru lanes can help improve safety, livability and satisfy other community needs by reallocating the space for pedestrians, cyclists or

• n‐street parking.

Jackson Street (SR 60 Eastbound) between Morgan Street and Nebraska Avenue

Because of traffic volume east of Morgan Street, the existing lane configuration is being maintained. Parking is included on the south side of the roadway.

Traffic Analysis is part of the process

SR 60 RESURFACING PROJECTS

24‐Hour Corridor Volumes The question that must be answered when considering Jackson Street for a road diet: Does existing & future traffic demand require 3 travel lanes to function at an acceptable level of service? This is currently being studied. Existing volume does not require 3 lanes along the entire corridor. Future demand is being analyzed.

13

Public/Stakeholder Outreach to Date

Meetings have been held with interested parties along the corridor:

• Property Owners & Managers
• Business Owners
• Tampa Downtown Partnership Committee Meetings (Urban Design Committee,

Transportation Committee)

• MPO Committees (Bike/Ped, Citizen’s Advisory, Technical Advisory, MPO Board)
• City of Tampa
• Hillsborough County
• Hillsborough Area Regional Transit (HART)
• Tampa Hillsborough Expressway Authority (THEA)
