The Florida Department of Transportation held a public
meeting about the projects on Ulmerton Road from east of
119th Street to west of I-275 in Pinellas County. The
meeting was held Tuesday, January 22, 2008 at the
Holiday Inn Select, 3535 Ulmerton Road. There were no
formal presentations, but Department staff were
available to answer questions. Fact sheets and large
aerial boards of the projects were available for review.
One of the projects is in front of Feather Sound and is
identified as Financial Project 257147-1-52-01. This
project is currently in the design stage with
construction at a fully funded cost of 4.5 million
expected to begin in 2011. There will not be any
additional lanes added to the six lanes currently
existing between the Ulmerton overpass and I 275. The
road will be resurfaced with improvements including
construction of left-turn lanes, continuous right turn
lanes, bike lanes, sidewalks, drainage, signage, signals
and lighting. For further information contact FDOT
