COMMUNITY AWARENESS PLAN City of St. Petersburg Project No: 18032-110 40th Avenue NE Bridge Replacement St. Petersburg, Florida

The purpose of this Community Awareness Plan (CAP) is to establish and maintain a strategy for early, meaningful, and continuous public and stakeholder involvement during the design and construction phases. The CAP will document an approach to public outreach efforts, the development process and the resolution of project specific issues during the design phase, and develop and maintain stakeholder support for the project. Because the CAP process is results- oriented, it must be continually re-evaluated throughout the project to ensure that meaningful community involvement is maintained.

The objective of the CAP is to identify the means of notifying local governments, affected property owners, tenants, and the public of proposed construction and the anticipated impact of that construction. A schedule of events and list of documentation exhibiting compliance with federal requirements are included.

Project Description:

This project will replace the existing 40th Avenue NE Bridge (No. 157154) in St. Petersburg, FL. The project limits extend from 12th St. NE to west of 13th Way NE, a distance of 0.15 miles. The existing 40th Avenue Bridge was a two lane facility with a median auxiliary lane and sidewalks that tied into the roadway approaches with similar configurations. However, the bridge was reconfigured as part of a temporary emergency repair. The auxiliary lane in the median and one of the sidewalks are now closed. Vehicular traffic has been diverted to the south side of the bridge and pedestrian traffic has been diverted to the north side of the bridge. The new bridge will accommodate two lanes of traffic, bicycle lanes, and sidewalks.

II. Background

This project’s studies consider multiple conceptual design alternatives for a replacement bridge across 40th Avenue NE in St. Petersburg, FL. The current structure, The Nathaniel J. Upham Bridge (Bridge No. 157154), was built in 1960. Widening of the bridge took place in 1991. In 2016, an independent study prioritized the bridges within the City of St. Petersburg for replacement over a 10-year period. At that time, the 40th Avenue NE Bridge – based on routine inspections – was not ranked in need of complete replacement. However, the bridge was in need of routine maintenance. A growing number of area residents and boaters also expressed an overwhelming desire to raise the bridge and organized the “Raze and Raise” bridge initiative. 2

______Community Awareness Plan

In August 2017 concrete repairs were underway, and while removing loose concrete, the extensive corrosion of the reinforcing strands in the underside of the bridge center was discovered. At that time, the bridge was temporarily closed and re-inspected.

Based on the inspection findings, it was determined the bridge could be safely reopened if traffic modifications were made to take traffic off of the center of the bridge. These modifications included shifting vehicular traffic from the center of the bridge where the corrosion occurred to the outermost edges, reducing travel speed and increasing weight restrictions. These modifications are daily reminders that this bridge is due for a much- needed replacement.

The 40th Avenue NE Bridge Replacement project is intended as a safety improvement, and to provide enhanced mobility and accessibility. The funding for this work is provided primarily by the “Penny for Pinellas” one-cent sales tax as a long-term capital infrastructure project. Construction is to be funded by the City in FY 2020 with reimbursement funds identified in FDOT’s Work Program in FY 2022 and FY 2024.

III. Project Goals

The following goals and objectives have been defined for this project:

Key Project Goals:

IV. Identification of Agencies and Affected Communities/Public Stakeholders

A. Communities:

This 40th Avenue NE Bridge (No. 157154) replacement project is located in the City of St. Petersburg in Pinellas County, Florida. Pinellas County is part of the Tampa–St. Petersburg–Clearwater, Florida Metropolitan Statistical Area. St. Petersburg is the largest city with more than 263,000 residents. North of Downtown St. Petersburg is Historic Old Northeast, with Mediterranean-style historic and waterfront homes, parks and recreational areas. Old Northeast is also home to a shopping district, city landmarks, beaches and small shops, as well as small residential high-rises.

The communities surrounding The Nathaniel J. Upham Bridge were established in the 1960s. Since then the area has flourished and grown. Today, the bridge connects the neighborhoods of Patrician Point, Shore Acres and Venetian Isles to the Northeast Park Neighborhood and is the closest access to Downtown St. Petersburg.

Table 1 shows the demographics for these communities. The demographics of the study area was obtained through a Sociocultural Data Report (SDR) analysis conducted by the FDOT. A copy of the SDR is attached to this CAP. The primary land use along the corridor is suburban residential with some scattered commercial areas. Based on the demographics of the study area there are no special demographic concerns.

These community resources should be evaluated for potential sociocultural effects, such as accessibility and relocation potential. The facility types may indicate the types of population groups present in the project study area. Facility staff and leaders can be sources of community information such as who uses the facility and how it is used. Additionally, community facilities are potential public meeting venues.

Data Sources Area The geographic area of the community based on a user-specified community boundary or area of interest (AOI) boundary.

Jurisdiction Jurisdiction(s) includes local government boundaries that intersect the community or AOI boundary.

Demographic Data Demographic data reported under the headings General Population Trends, Race and Ethnicity Trends, Age Trends, Income Trends, Educational Attainment Trends, Language Trends, and Housing Trends is from the U.S. Decennial Census (1990, 2000) and the American Community Survey (ACS) 5-year estimates from 2006-2010 and 2012-2016. The data was gathered at the block group level for user-specified community boundaries and AOIs, and at the county level for counties. Depending on the dataset, the data represents 100% counts (Census Summary File 1) or sample-based information (Census Summary File 3 or ACS).

About the Census Data: User-specified community boundaries and AOIs do not always correspond precisely to block group boundaries. In these instances, adjustment of the geographic area and data for affected block groups is required to estimate the actual population. To improve the accuracy of such estimates in the SDR report, the census block group data was adjusted to exclude all census blocks with a population of two or fewer. These areas were eliminated from the corresponding years' block groups. Next, the portion of the block group that lies outside of the community or AOI boundary was removed. The demographics within each block group were then recalculated, assuming an equal area distribution of the population. Note that there may be areas where there is no population.

Use caution when comparing the 100% count data (Decennial Census) to the sample-based data (ACS). In any given year, about one in 40 or 2.5% of U.S. households will receive the ACS questionnaire. Over any five-year period, about one in eight households will receive the questionnaire, as compared to about one in six that received the long form questionnaire for the Decennial Census 2000. (Source: http://mcdc.missouri.edu/pub/data/acs/Readme.shtml) The U.S. Census Bureau provides help with this process: https://www.census.gov/programs-surveys/acs/guidance/comparing-acs-data/2016.html

Use caution when interpreting changes in Race and Ethnicity over time. Starting with the 2000 Decennial Census, respondents were given a new option of selecting one or more race categories. Also in 2000, the placement of the question about Hispanic origin changed, helping to increase responsiveness to the Hispanic-origin question. Because of these and other changes, the 1990 data on race and ethnicity are not directly comparable with data from later censuses. (Source: http://www.census.gov/prod/2001pubs/c2kbr01-1.pdf; http://www.census.gov/pred/www/rpts/Race%20and%20Ethnicity%20FINAL%20report.pdf)

Disability data is not included in the 2010 Decennial Census, or the 2006-2010 ACS. This data is available in the 2012- 2016 ACS. Because of changes made to the Census and ACS questions between 1990 and 2016, disability variables should not be compared from year to year. For example: 1) With the 1990 data the disabilities are listed as a "work disability" while this distinction is not made with 2000 or 2016 ACS data; 2) The 2016 ACS data includes the institutionalized population (e.g. persons in prisons and group homes), while this population is not included in 1990 or 2000; 3) the age groupings changed over the years. Please take the following two concerns into account when viewing this data: 1) With the 1990 data the disabilities are listed as a "work disability" while this distinction is not made with 2000 or 2016 ACS data; 2) The 2016 ACS data includes the institutionalized population (e.g. persons in prisons and group homes), while this population is not included in 1990 or 2000.

Income of households. This includes the income of the householder and all other individuals 15 years old and over in the household, whether they are related to the householder or not. Because many households consist of only one person, average household income is usually less than average family income. Income of families. In compiling statistics on family income, the incomes of all members 15 years old and over related to the householder are summed and treated as a single amount. Age Trends median age for 1990 is not available. Land Use Data The Land Use information Indicates acreages and percentages for the generalized land use types used to group parcel- specific, existing land use assigned by the county property appraiser office according to the Florida Department of Revenue land use codes.

The "Minority" calculations are derived from Census and ACS data using both the race and ethnicity responses. On this report, "Minority" refers to individuals who list a race other than White and/or list their ethnicity as Hispanic/Latino. In other words, people who are multi-racial, any single race other than White, or Hispanic/Latino of any race are considered minorities.
