About this file
The document is a public engagement presentation by the Tampa MOVES (Mobility, Opportunity, Vision, Equity, Safety) initiative, focusing on the North Downtown/Ashley Drive redevelopment concept in September 2022. The presentation outlines a comprehensive urban redesign strategy for Ashley Drive, involving multiple stakeholders including the Downtown Community Redevelopment Area (CRA), Downtown River Arts Neighborhood Association (DRANA), Downtown Partnership Transportation Committee, and Hillsborough Transportation Planning Organization (TPO) committees. The proposed concept aims to reconnect north downtown to the riverfront, create new street configurations, remove highway ramps, and develop a more pedestrian and cyclist-friendly urban environment.
The presentation highlights several key benefits of the Ashley Drive concept, including development opportunities for mixed and affordable housing with ground floor retail, new green infrastructure and park spaces accessing the riverfront, a potential future connection to Laurel Street, and street activation along a planned streetcar extension. The redesign includes detailed renderings showing transformed streetscapes with narrower travel lanes, improved intersections, enhanced street tree patterns, and more integrated urban spaces. Comparative analysis of block structures and case studies from other cities like Chattanooga and Rochester demonstrate the potential urban renewal benefits of such infrastructure reimagining, with a focus on creating more connected, accessible, and livable downtown environments.
