City of Tampa Multi-modal Project West River District

The City of Tampa is proposing the development of the West River Multi-Modal Improvements Project, as part of a Better Utilizing Investments to Leverage Development (BUILD) Grant received by the Federal Highway Administration (FHWA). The project as-proposed would complete the City of Tampa’s remaining segments of a 12.2-mile pedestrian and bicycle facility through important multi-modal and transportation safety network improvements and create a continuous transportation network along the Hillsborough River. The multi-modal path will expand connections and provide a variety of sage mobility options for pedestrians and bicyclists between several neighborhoods and employment centers. FHWA requires NEPA compliance prior to grant distribution. The project will be completed in six (6) phases.

• Completion of field reviews and evaluation of project for natural resources and completion of a Natural Resource Evaluation Report and agency coordination.

• Completion of Section 4(f) documentation and coordination with the Official with Jurisdiction

• Coordination with both FDOT District 7, Office of Environmental Management, and Federal Highway Administration
