City of Oldsmar

A portion of Oldsmar south of Tampa Rd that encompasses the downtown area

This project included inventorying existing traffic control devices, crosswalks, sidewalks, and bike lanes; development of a traffic control study methodology for identification and warrant of all-way stop control at intersections; and preparation of conceptual designs of improvements.

The study area is primarily residential but also includes a handful of other uses, including commercial/retail establishments, schools, churches, and City owned properties (City Hall, Library, Cultural center and parks).
