About this file
This document is a Preliminary Engineering Report (PER) summary prepared for Pinellas County, Florida in connection with a State and Tribal Assistance Grant (STAG) funded through the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) for stormwater and roadway improvements along the Anclote Road corridor. The project evaluation examined two primary build alternatives alongside a no-build scenario to determine the optimal improvement strategy for the corridor. The document presents specific design specifications for three distinct project phases, with each phase offering alternative configurations for lane widths, pedestrian and bicycle accommodations, and drainage improvements. Build Alternative 1 for Phases 1 and 2 proposes two 11-foot lanes with a 10-foot-wide shared-use path and 5-foot sidewalk, while Build Alternative 2 for the same phases specifies two 11-foot lanes with a 5-foot paved shoulder serving as an on-street bike lane and 5-foot sidewalks. For Phase 3, Alternative 1 includes two 11-foot lanes with Type F curbing and 6- to 8-foot sidewalks, whereas Alternative 2 proposes two 10-foot lanes with Type F curbing, 4-foot bike lanes, and 6-foot sidewalks.
All build alternatives share common objectives focused on enhancing multimodal transportation, improving safety for non-motorized traffic, rehabilitating roadway pavement and base, and improving drainage infrastructure. Each alternative provides consistent connections along the project corridor to the work release center and adjacent trails while remaining consistent with the Pinellas County Long Range Transportation Plan (LRTP). The project requires preparation of an Environmental Information Document (EID) and PER in accordance with the National Environmental Policy Act (NEPA) and EPA guidelines before the STAG funding can be awarded to the county.

Summary of Alternatives in PER Wednesday, February 28, 2024
11:15 AM
Two main alternatives were evaluated for the improvement of the Anclote Road corridor. These alternatives are as follows:
• No Build: This alternative involves keeping the two-lane rural roadway section along the project limits and non-continuous sidewalks at various locations.
• Alternative 1 (Phase Areas 1 and 2): This alternative entails constructing two 11-foot lanes, a 10-foot-wide shared-use path, and a 5-foot sidewalk where feasible.
• Alternative 2 (Phase Areas 1 and 2): This alternative entails constructing two 11-foot lanes, a 5-foot paved shoulder as an on-street bike lane, and 5-foot sidewalks.
• Alternative 1 (Phase 3): This alternative entails constructing two 11-foot lanes, Type F curb, and a 6 to 8-foot sidewalk.
• Alternative 2 (Phase 3): This alternative entails constructing two 10-foot lanes, Type F curb, 4-foot bike lanes, and a 6-foot sidewalk.
4.2 Build Alternative 1 (Phase Areas 1 and 2)
The Build Alternative 1 entails constructing two 11-foot lanes, a 10-foot-wide shared-use path, and a 5-foot sidewalk where feasible. This alternative aims to connect pedestrians and bicyclists continuously within Phase Areas 1 and 2. The typical section for the alternative is shown in Figure 25.
Figure 25 – Build Alternative 1 Typical Section (Phase Areas 1 and 2) Certain advantages are associated with this alternative, including:
• Provides a consistent connection along the project corridor.
• Provides a connection to the work release center and adjacent trails.
• Enhances multimodal levels of service on the existing roadway network.
• Improves safety for non-motorized traffic.
• Consistent with the Pinellas County Long Range Transportation Plan (LRTP).
• Rehabilitates the roadway pavement and base.
• Improves drainage.
4.3 Build Alternative 2 (Phase Areas 1 and 2)
The Build Alternative 2 entails constructing two 11-foot lanes, a 4-foot paved shoulder as an on-street bike lane, and 5-foot sidewalks. This alternative aims to connect pedestrians and bicyclists continuously within Phase Areas 1 and 2. The typical section for the alternative is shown in Figure 26.

• Provides a consistent connection along the project corridor.
• Provides a connection to the work release center and adjacent trails.
• Enhances multimodal levels of service on the existing roadway network.
• Improves safety for non-motorized traffic.
• Consistent with the Pinellas County Long Range Transportation Plan (LRTP).
The Build Alternative 1 for Phase Area 3 entails constructing two 11-foot lanes, Type F curb, and a 6- to 8-foot sidewalk. This alternative aims to connect pedestrians and bicyclists continuously within Phase Area 3. The typical section for the alternative is shown in Figure 27.

• Provides a consistent connection along the project corridor.
• Enhances multimodal levels of service on the existing roadway network.
• Improves safety for non-motorized traffic.
• Consistent with the Pinellas County Long Range Transportation Plan (LRTP).
4.5 Build Alternative 2 (Phase Area 3)
The Build Alternative 2 for Phase Area 3 entails constructing two 10-foot lanes, Type F curb, 4-foot bike lanes, and a 6-foot sidewalk. This alternative aims to connect pedestrians and bicyclists continuously within Phase Area 3. The typical section for the alternative is shown in Figure 28.
Figure 28 – Build Alternative 1 Typical Section (Phase Area 3) Certain advantages are associated with this alternative, including:
• Provides a consistent connection along the project corridor.
• Enhances multimodal levels of service on the existing roadway network.
• Improves safety for non-motorized traffic.
• Consistent with the Pinellas County Long Range Transportation Plan (LRTP).
