• Abstract:
  The Hillsborough County Metropolitan Planning Organization (MPO), in the Tampa, Florida region, identified several corridors in the roadway transportation network that would benefit from infrastructure enhancements to improve the safety, mobility, and accessibility of all users, particularly pedestrians and bicyclists. Through early crash analysis, the MPO identified the top 20 severe crash corridors, later adopted in its Vision Zero Action Plan. The MPO Board supported prioritizing funding in the Transportation Improvement Program for redesigns that included safety for all modes. Fletcher Avenue, near the University of South Florida (USF), was one of the targeted corridors. From 2011-2013, the section of Fletcher Avenue from Nebraska Avenue to Bruce B. Downs Boulevard averaged over 1,100 total daily pedestrian crossings. Additionally, the corridor had a high pedestrian crash rate with 31 pedestrian crashes.
