Have your say on development and traffic in Brandon
|
The Brandon Corridors & Mixed Use Centers Pilot study is a joint pilot project of the Planning Commission and Hillsborough MPO. The purpose of the study is to better coordinate the envisioned land use pattern with planned transportation improvements along Brandon's major east-west corridors - Brandon Boulevard, Lumsden Road, and Bloomingdale Avenue. These busy corridors connect much of Brandon's residential and commercial development to I-75. We need your input on development and transportation improvements that will support our strongest redevelopment and economic development opportunities in conjunction with transportation improvements that will enhance the development pattern, provide choices, and improve safety for all users.

Walkability in the University Area Community
|

Since locals are the experts when it comes to their neighborhoods, we reached out for their help to ask how walkable is your neighborhood?.
The University Area Community Development Corporation (UACDC) in conjunction with the Florida Department of Health - Hillsborough, Hillsborough MPO, and the Planning Commission developed an outreach plan to engage neighborhood residents and visitors to the University Area Community Center who attended classes and programs. Asked to rate the conditions they experienced, as well as their observations and thoughts during a single walk, 288 residents responded to the survey. To incentivize participation, two raffles for bicycles were offered for individuals who completed the survey. This report provides a basic breakdown of trends that were identified from analyzing responses. The input received from residents is extremely useful towards identifying road and sidewalk needs, and it provides an invaluable resource towards future community planning efforts.
