Whiting Street PD&E Study Virtual Alternatives Meeting

May 11, 2021 (Tampa, Fla.) – On May 20, 2021, at 6:30 pm, the Tampa Hillsborough Expressway Authority (THEA) will host a Virtual Alternatives Meeting to discuss the Project Development and Environment (PD&E) Study. The Whiting Street PD&E Study includes options to connect Whiting Street to Meridian Avenue and the possible reconfiguration of the Selmon Expressway ramps at Florida and Morgan.

The purpose of the Whiting Street PD&E Study is to look at potential improvements for safety, capacity, and community enhancements, along with implementing a downtown Tampa grid network. This study looks at ideas for the eastbound downtown Tampa exit ramps and the Jefferson Street entrance ramp of the Selmon Expressway, as well as neighboring surface streets in downtown Tampa.

The Virtual Alternatives Meeting will include a narrated portion that will give interested persons an opportunity to hear the background and purpose of the project, the process to complete the Whiting Street PD&E study, and the alternatives being considered. Public comment is solicited at the meeting and throughout the Study period. To be kept informed of the steps in the project, please sign up for the study newsletter at selmonstudies.com.

The Alternatives Meeting on May 20, 2021, is the first step in sharing ideas – alternatives – with interested stakeholders and the public. The Alternatives Meeting is being done virtually so that anyone interested can attend.  A recording of the Alternatives Meeting will be available on the website at selmonstudies.com.
