Brandon study nearly complete!
Covering topics from development and redevelopment opportunities to transit and road improvements, the Brandon Corridors & Mixed-use Centers Pilot Project comprehensively looked at the land use and transportation issues facing the area. Conducted to study project feasibility, the study is conceptual in nature and includes n
o construction plans or funding.
The study looked at the feasibility, advantages, and disadvantages of these concepts:
- Focusing potential future redevelopment in centers along State Road 60
- Improving the mix of uses, connectivity and walkability in other commercial centers throughout the area
- Potential roadway improvements like widening Lumsden Road, reversible lanes on Bloomingdale Avenue, and roundabouts on Lithia Pinecrest and Bryan Road
- Potential rapid transit in the State Road 60/Oakfield Drive corridor and circulators or on-demand transit services
We want to hear from the Brandon community at a public meeting at The Regent on October 30, 2017 from 6:00 p.m. - 7:30 p.m.
