Hillsborough County, Fla. (Aug. 6, 2025) - Hillsborough County is offering another opportunity for residents in Apollo Beach to review and give feedback on plans to improve safety along Apollo Beach Boulevard.
As the Apollo Beach community has grown, so has Apollo Beach Boulevard's need to accommodate roadway users of all types, such as pedestrians, cyclists, and other motorized forms of transportation, in addition to automobiles. Hillsborough County is evaluating proposed safety improvements along the Apollo Beach Boulevard corridor, including sidewalk improvements, mid-block crossings, and lane configurations.
The study will assess improvements identified in a previous study, including filling sidewalk gaps and the possibility of repurposing one through lane in each direction for bicycles or combined bicycle/golf cart use. It will also give residents the opportunity to identify areas of concern along the boulevard. In response to community requests for safety and mobility improvements, the project will also examine the addition of left-turn lanes at the Fairway Boulevard/Manila Palm Way intersection.
Public Engagement Opportunity
Hillsborough County Public Works will host an in-person Open House on Tuesday, Aug. 12, at 6 p.m. at Apollo Beach Elementary School. Residents also can learn more about the corridor safety improvements proposal and provide input through a virtual public engagement through Aug. 19, 2025, at HCFL.Gov/HCEngage.
For general information, email Hillsborough County Public Works at PWCustomerResolution@HCFL.gov or call (813) 635-5400.
