Looking down the road

This article is addressing the community efforts to be involved with the light rail that will be built in Tampa. Carollwood and Northdale residents have developed a plan to make Dale Mabry Hwy more pedestrian friendly and more character identified. Their plan includes signage standards and walk ability safety. although the community have been working and meeting on developing such a plan, commissioners are emphasizing that Dale Mabry is not in the primary plan for the light rail. Such a plan for Dale Mabry Highway will serve as a future saved plan for extension and expansion of the light rail that would be built.
It is very important for communities to get involved and have a say in what they want and what they don't want in regards to community improvements and transit development.

  1. As I live in that area, this topic has great personal interest for me! Making corridors like Dale Mabry more accessible and pedestrian friendly is very important, whether light rail ever goes there or not.
