Public Involvement

A Public Involvement Program has been developed and is being carried out as an integral part of this project. The purpose of this program is to establish and maintain communication with the public at-large and individuals and agencies concerned with the project and its potential impacts.

As part of the project's Public Involvement Program, the project team has coordinated with state and local agencies through meetings and various forms of correspondence and will continue to do so throughout the next phases of the project.

A Comments and Coordination Report was completed in early 2007. This report summarized agency coordination and public involvement efforts and comments received during the PD&E Study.

Previous Public Meetings

To facilitate communication and ensure input from agencies and the public, a Public Information Meeting was held on June 15, 2006. The Public Information Meeting presented the four alternatives studied, including the No-Build Alternative, and provided the public the opportunity to express views concerning the conceptual design and social, economic, and environmental effects of the proposed improvements.

A second Public Information Meeting was held on October 17, 2006. This meeting presented the preferred alternative and offered an additional opportunity for interested parties to provide comments concerning the project.

In December 2006, a Frequently Asked Questions newsletter was distributed to interested parties. This newsletter addressed many of the issues important to meeting attendees and those who commented on the project.

Future Public Meetings

Two public information meetings will be held during the design phase of this project. These meetings have not been scheduled, but once they are, you will be able to view the meeting announcements and other information on this website. Meetings will also be announced with signs placed at key locations in the project area.

The first meeting was on November 17, 2008. The meeting displays showed the 60% plans and typical sections.

A second meeting will be held at the pre-construction phase, tentatively planned for Winter 2008/2009.

After each meeting, a newsletter will be mailed to the meeting attendees who provided their contact information. These newsletters will provide information responding to the major issues raised at each meeting. The newsletters will also be posted on this website.

Throughout the design phase, this website will be updated to provide accurate and timely information regarding the progress of the project and important issues.

Coordination During the Design Phase

Hillsborough County will continue coordination with state and local agencies throughout the design phase to ensure all the issues are addressed. All Hillsborough County Departments with an interest in the project have had opportunities to comment on the project.

Hillsborough County will also coordinate with representatives from the Homeowners Associations to receive their input and work with them on potential concerns.
