ADMINSTRATION MODIFICATION - LONG RANGE TRANSPORTATION PLAN - MULTIUSE TRAIL PLAN- LRTP REPORT MAP 5-7 The Long Range Transportation Plan Map 5-7 illustrates the multi-use trail plan for Pasco County which incorporated the County s Greenways, Trails and Blue-ways (GTB) plan. The GTB map was recently updated to identify a pedestrian overpass at the U.S. 19 and Marine Parkway intersection. In order to modify the LRTP Map 5-7 to reflect the overpass, a LRTP Administrative Modification is required. A LRTP Administrative Modification is a minor revision that includes minor changes and per the MPO s Public Participation Plan (PPP) does not require public review and comment, but needs to be posted on the MPO website. This Administrative Modification does not have any fiscal impact on the LRTP plan. It should be noted that the pedestrian overpass is a City of New Port Richey initiative. The city has requested that a portion of the cost of the project be appropriated in the state s budget. The remainder of the funding would be the responsibility of the city. Note also that the overpass is shown as Planned/Conceptual, on the LRTP map since funding is not secured at this time. This is designated a major trail crossing point on U.S. 19, which would eventually connect New Port Richey to the U.S. 19 trail and the planned Anclote Coastal Trail. ATTACHMENTS: 1.

Transit Service Expansion Review of Priorities in the Transit Development Plan and MPO s List of Priority Projects Of late there has been interest in reviewing transit system priorities as shown in the Ten Year Transit Development Plan (TDP) that was adopted by the MPO in The TDP is an FDOT required document that presents a strategic plan for transit based on demographics, travel behavior and public input. Transit needs are determined for the ten-year period and a cost affordable plan is developed to provide a guide to funding improvements to existing transit services and future expansion of service.

34 RICK SCOTT GOVERNOR February 22, 2016 Florida Department of Transportation 719 S. Woodland Boulevard DeLand, FL JIM BOXOLD SECRETARY Mr. James Edwards Pasco County MPO Transportation Planning Manager 8731 Citizens Drive New Port Richey, FL Subject: Coast-to-Coast Trail Sumter County Gap Study from the Withlacoochee State Trail to the James A. Van Fleet State Trail Sumter, Hernando, and Pasco counties, Florida Financial Project Number: Dear Mr. Edwards: Thank you for your continued interest and support for the Coast-to-Coast Trail Sumter Gap Study. We received your letter regarding the Pasco County MPO Board s preference for the southern corridor and interest in creating a loop network connecting the proposed southern and northern corridors. The Department recognizes the opportunity to create additional connections / routing options for trail users; however, the purpose of the Coast-to-Coast Trail Sumter County Gap is to identify and develop a single route to be incorporated into the larger Coast-to-Coast Trail. A loop network would require a coordinated effort with local governments including Pasco, Sumter and Hernando counties, given that a large portion of this southern segment falls within the respective jurisdictions and would need to be maintained by the respective entity. We invite you to attend our Project Visioning Team Meeting on March 17, 2016 at 9:00 at the City of Webster Community Building were we will be presenting the proposed trail alignments under consideration. We also have two Alternatives Public Meetings scheduled to present the alternatives under consideration with the public. We invite you and your constituents to attend one or both of these as well. Each meeting will begin as an open house from 5:00 p.m. to 7:00 p.m., with an oral presentation at 5:30 p.m. The content will be the same at each meeting. Wednesday, March 30, 2016 Thursday, March 31, :00 p.m. to 7:00 p.m. 5:00 p.m. to 7:00 p.m. City of Center Hill Community Building Ridge Manor Community Center 74 S Virginia Avenue Cortez Boulevard Center Hill, FL Ridge Manor, FL We will begin advertising for the public meetings later this week.
