Hillsborough County, Fla. (May 9, 2025) - Hillsborough County residents can review the proposed recommended design for improvements to the Lithia Pinecrest Corridor at a Public Engagement Meeting on Tuesday.
Hillsborough County is designing corridor improvements along Lithia Pinecrest Road from Fishhawk Boulevard approximately 6.2 miles to Lumsden Road, and on Bloomingdale Avenue from Culbreath Road to Pearson Road. The total project length is 7.5 miles.
Residents who travel on Lithia Pinecrest Road have two options to participate. The County is hosting an in-person opportunity for residents to see the designs that will go into the final Preliminary Engineering Report and Project Environmental Impact Report.
They can attend the public meeting on Tuesday, May 13, at the Bloomingdale High School cafeteria. Residents also can participate in the online engagement through May 21.
This is the third of three public meetings on this PD&E study. In 2023 residents met with engineers to learn about the existing conditions and get public input on solutions. In 2024, County engineers provided the initial alignment and improvement ideas on concept exhibit boards, and residents provided input on intersection preferences and other features to include in the project.
Safe mobility for all roadway users, regardless of mode of travel, will be considered and incorporated into the study and the alternatives evaluated. Alternatives were generated based on the result of a traffic analysis and feedback provided by the community during the past two public meetings.
Virtual Public Engagement Opportunity
The County is conducting a virtual engagement using the Hillsborough Engagement & Education Hub to collect feedback from the public on flooding impacts. The virtual engagement for these projects is open until May 21, 2025. Visit HCFL.Gov/HCEngage to participate.
