Study Goals• Improve safety and transit operating
conditions
• Improve connectivity for east-west routes
• Improve local transit access for communities between USF and Downtown Tampa, including bicycle and pedestrian connectivity and signalized crossing improvements

Initial Alternatives & Screenings• Seventeen (17) alternatives
identified • Florida Ave to Fowler Ave• Nebraska Ave to Fowler Ave• Remaining use 1 of 15 cross-streets to
connect from Florida Ave to Nebraska Ave
• Conducted 2 screenings:• Fatal Flaw Analysis• Preliminary Alternatives Analysis

Recommended Initial Alignment
Waters AvenueLinebaugh Avenue
Palm Avenue
Initial BRT Alignment• Linebaugh Ave Alternative is
recommended• Provides the following benefits to
the study area:• A higher opportunity for infill and
redevelopment• Higher existing transit use and
more uses that are compatible with transit
• Higher degree of supporting land use
• A greater potential for transit travel time savings
