Heights Mobility Study Public Engagement Overview Florida Department of Transportation District 7 Heights Mobility Study Public Engagement Overview June 2019 HEIGHTS MOBILITY STUDY PUBLIC ENGAGEMENT HEIGHTS MOBILITY STUDY PUBLIC ENGAGEMENT OVERVIEW HEIGHTS MOBILITY STUDY OVERVIEW The Heights Mobility Study aims to identify immediate improvements to the Florida Avenue and Tampa Street/Highland Avenue corridor between downtown Tampa and the Hillsborough River (referred to as the Florida/Tampa Corridor or Corridor). Additionally, the Study is working with the community to form a comprehensive vision for transportation to be implemented for neighborhoods throughout the Corridor. A major component of the Heights Mobility Study process has been public engagement. Engagement strategies have been based on connecting with, providing information to, and gathering input from stakeholders throughout the Study process. Effectively engaging the public will ensure that the Study builds consensus among various project stakeholders for project outcomes that reflect the needs and priorities of the communities it is intended to benefit. PUBLIC ENGAGEMENT STRATEGIES Public engagement for the Heights Mobility Study centered around the themes of connecting with, providing information to, and gathering input from stakeholders throughout the Study process. An effective engagement strategy is meant to ensure that the Study builds consensus among various project stakeholders for project outcomes that reflect the needs and priorities of the communities it is intended to benefit. Reach a broad range of stakeholders in the community: Take advantage of opportunities for widespread in-person outreach through neighborhood meetings and community events. Enhance information sharing: When possible, look for opportunities to streamline and consolidate the flow of information. To enhance online participation, continue in-person outreach to organizations, encouraging online and word-of-mouth information sharing though various social and community networks. Identify opportunities to reach community members who are not necessarily involved in one of the organized stakeholder groups. Balance information sharing and input gathering: Focus on interactive group meetings and workshops, in additional to traditional informational meetings, to help balance information sharing and input gathering. Look for opportunities to coordinate with other transportation projects, not just in meetings, but in coordination of substance and messaging. These efforts will help share information efficiently and create space for more interactive activities. Coordinate transportation vision with land use considerations: While land use is not a focus of the Heights Mobility Study, it is recognized that transportation and land use influence each other. Coordination with agencies involved in land use decisions, e.g., City of Tampa and the Hillsborough County City-County Planning Commission, will help in ensuring that the existing land use visions are compatible to the transportation vision developed as a result of the Heights Mobility Study. June 2019 Page 1 HEIGHTS MOBILITY STUDY PUBLIC ENGAGEMENT PUBLIC ENGAGEMENT GOALS To achieve its purpose, goals related to how engagement was undertaken (process-oriented) and what outcomes were accomplished (outcome-oriented) were established for the Heights Mobility Study outreach. The following is an overview of the process-oriented and outcome-oriented engagement goals: Process-Oriented Goals Early and Consistent Engagement Throughout the Study: Create opportunities for stakeholders to learn about and provide input on the Study from start to completion. Inclusive Engagement: Effectively engage a wide variety of stakeholders, including under-represented or under-served groups. Note that Title VI of the Civil Rights Act of 1964 prohibits discrimination on the basis of race, color, and national origin in programs and activities receiving federal funds. Interagency Coordination: Coordinate throughout Phase II with other agencies overseeing transportation-related projects in the Study Area. Varied Opportunities for Engagement: Use a broad range of engagement methods throughout the Study, which will aid to effectively engage a variety of stakeholders. Quality Information, Communication, and Engagement Tools: To promote transparency in the Study process, make information, communication, and engagement tools of the Study readily accessible to stakeholders in a timely manner based on the Study timeframe. Information, communication and engagement tools should be accurate and understandable for the various stakeholders. Meaningful Incorporation of Input: Include steps to synthesize and meaningfully consider and incorporate stakeholder input into the Study process and outcomes as part of a transparent decision- making process. Outcome-Oriented Goals Provision of Study Information: Communicate Study information with stakeholders and the broader public throughout the Study process. Validation of Received Input: Continue to obtain input on the initial action items and general vision concepts that were developed based on the initial Study outreach efforts. Education on Project Goals and Tradeoffs, as They Relate to Planned Improvements and Typical Section Design Scenarios: Immediate and comprehensive improvements will be constrained by the physical characteristics of the roadway and technical consideration of the corridor. Improvements will also need to be coordinated with other transportation planning efforts taking place within and adjacent to the Study Area. This part of public engagement aims to educate about these considerations and possible resulting trade-offs that will need to be made in the Study planning process for improvements and typical section design changes to take place. June 2019 Page 2 HEIGHTS MOBILITY STUDY PUBLIC ENGAGEMENT Evaluation and Prioritization of Proposed Typical Section Design Scenarios and Other Mobility Improvements: Stakeholder input will be used as part of the evaluation and prioritization of proposed improvements, both immediate and longer-term, as part of the analysis process. PUBLIC ENGAGEMENT STAKEHOLDERS The following is a list of key stakeholders, in addition to the general public, that were identified for outreach: Transportation/Planning Agency Stakeholders • FDOT District Seven • Hillsborough Metropolitan Planning Organization • City of Tampa • Hillsborough Area Regional Transit Authority • Tampa Bay Area Regional Transit Authority Civic/Community Stakeholders • Old Seminole Heights Neighborhood Association • South Seminole Heights Neighborhood Association • Tampa Heights Civic Association • Tampa Heights Junior Civic Association • Heights Urban Core Chamber • Hampton Terrace Neighborhood Association • Sulphur Springs Action League • Tampa Downtown Partnership STAKEHOLDER OUTREACH The strategies for stakeholder outreach focused on making connections with stakeholders, raising awareness, and sharing information about the Study. Stakeholder input was provided via in-person meetings and events, canvassing (flyers), electronic platforms, and media outlets. STAKEHOLDER INPUT The following strategies are geared towards gathering input from stakeholders beyond providing initial information about the Study. These strategies aim to provide effective and understandable ways of gaining input from a full range of stakeholders and are organized around the Public Outreach Goals, validation of initial input, education on the project process and tradeoffs as they relate to improvements and the development of concepts, and input on any planned improvements and design concepts.

Tampa Bay Next is a program to modernize Tampa Bay’s transportation infrastructure and a process for engaging the public. Within sections of the program area, the addition of express lanes is being considered to provide additional capacity, relieve congestion and provide a more reliable travel time option for passenger and transit vehicles. In addition, improvements address safety and traffic operations on the interstates. Interstate modernization projects incorporate additional elements such as opportunities to add bicycle and pedestrian facilities, aesthetic treatments, transit accommodations, and reconnecting streets where possible. What Problems Are We Trying to Solve? SAFETY CONGESTION TRAFFIC OPERATIONS CHOICE Our goal is to improve safety and mobility through innovation, collaboration, and community engagement. How are we engaging the Community? In May 2017, the Florida Department of Transportation (FDOT) District Seven launched Tampa Bay Next and committed to a new approach to transportation planning.

  • Southeast Seminole Heights Flooding Relief Project Construction Impacts
    Southeast Seminole Heights Flooding Relief Project Construction Impacts - Questions and Answers August 2021 When will construction start? When will it end? Construction is scheduled to begin in late September or early October 2021 and will be completed approximately 2.5 years later. What are the construction hours? Will there be night work? Construction will typically occur on weekdays from 7 a.m. to 7 p.m. Night and weekend work may be needed on occasion for major road crossings, connections or paving. If night or weekend work is required, crews will provide advance notification to residents to minimize inconvenience. Will construction take place one street at a time or will crews be working on multiple streets simultaneously? Multiple crews will work simultaneously in different locations. Construction will begin first in South Seminole Heights at Crest Avenue and the Hillsborough River, with replacement of the outfall structure at the river and utility relocations along Crest. Micro-tunnel shafts on East Caracas Avenue extending under I-275 will occur at the same time. While crews work at the river and on West Crest Avenue, another crew will begin relocating utilities and installing storm culverts on Central Avenue at East Giddens Avenue, moving south to Caracas. After storm drains are installed from Central to Caracas, crews will begin installing storm drains on Caracas east of I-275. Will Rivercrest and Haya Linear Park be closed due to construction? Rivercrest Park and Haya Linear Park will remain open during construction. Crews will be working on the outfall to the Hillsborough River in a portion of Haya Linear Park; this area will be clearly delineated and barricaded.

    The Seminole Heights Advisor The Official Publication of the Old Seminole Heights Neighborhood Association (OSHNA) Published Since 1988 - Our 31st Year “To promote and encourage the preservation and restoration of the area known as Seminole Heights” Annual Circulation 11,000 Spring 2020 www.oldseminoleheights.org From the OSHNA President By Tim Keeports It’s spring in The Heights and that means we were eagerly anticipating our annual Home Tour! With the current COVID-19 situation, we cancelled the 22nd Annual OSHNA Home Tour that was to be held April 5th and are planning for a wonderful home tour on the second Sunday of April 2021 as Easter falls on the first Sunday of April 2021. Occasionally I’m asked why OSHNA exists or why did we take a certain stance on some of the changes happening within our neighborhood – such as a development or road project. Our organization’s bylaws contain a very important section I try to keep in mind when answering: "Section 3 Purpose" states, “to promote and encourage the preservation and restoration of the area known as Seminole Heights while revitalizing a sense of community in a safe and healthy residential neighborhood….” This “Purpose” is important as it sets the tone at our Board meetings and guides our decision making. It also helps frame the issues we focus on and when it’s more appropriate to allow individual neighbors to handle their challenges or occasional differences. Additionally, the OSHNA Board participates in a bimonthly meeting with our neighboring associations to discuss and address our common efforts. Even though March and April 2020 felt like an entire year had gone by, I was reflecting on this past December 2019 when we held our annual holiday party at American Legion Post 111.
