Last Chance to Weigh in on Transportation Projects for Our County
~~ The final phase of Pinellas County’s next Long Range Transportation Plan has begun~~
Pinellas County, FL —- Development of the next long range transportation plan (LRTP) – Advantage Pinellas, is underway. Forward Pinellas determines what transportation projects should receive state and federal funding in Pinellas County with the LRTP. Our neighborhoods, business districts and tourist destinations should be supported by a safe and reliable transportation network.
The plan will go to the Forward Pinellas Board for approval on October 9, 2024. This is your chance to review proposed projects and provide your feedback.
Examples of funded transportation priorities from previous LRTP’s include the new Gateway Expressway, the SunRunner, improvements to Gandy Blvd., the Pinellas Trail loop, improving travel along US 19, and more.
