Vision

Nebraska - Hillsborough Primary Transit Corridor Master Plan

Downtown Area Conceptual Master Plan

In 2010, the City of Tampa was awarded a grant from the U.S. Department of Housing and Urban Development (HUD)  to develop a corridor master plan for the Nebraska-Hillsborough Avenue Primary Transit Corridor and a Downtown Area Conceptual Master Plan for the urban core.  The plans will establish priorities for the future and provide a road map to stimulate economic development, spur community reinvestment and make the central city one of the most desirable places in the nation - all while preserving historic districts and neighborhood character.  These plans will be prepared by a consultant that will be funded through the grant received from HUD.

The study area for the corridor master plan is generally an area along Nebraska Avenue from Downtown Tampa to Hillsborough Avenue then east along Hillsborough Avenue to 22nd Street and extending about 1/3 mile from each side.  The study area for the Downtown Area Conceptual Master Plan is an area generally within 2-miles of the center of downtown.  The boundaries of both study areas will be defined once the project gets underway.

Current Status (as of January 6, 2012) 

Negotiations with AECOM continue and hope to be concluded by the end of January.  Project start is estimated for late February.
