Trotter Road Reconstruction

The City of Largo Strategic Plan identifies the need to establish a system of community streets and expand trails and greenways to connect neighborhoods, parks, and civic attractions. Community streets are to be designed to accommodate pedestrian, cyclist, other recreational users, and automobile traffic. The Trotter Road Community Street Improvements project is programmed for construction in FY 2017 and will provide improvements to the roadway and drainage facilities within the Trotter Road Right‐of‐way from 8th Avenue SW to Hillsdale Avenue.

Trotter Road is an important segment of the City of Largo's Community Street Network and a northsouth segment within the City's Southwest Urban Trail Corridor. The existing roadway lacks bicycle facilities, has a narrow rural section with inadequate shoulder, and substandard sidewalk and crosswalk facilities. This project will improve bicycle and pedestrian level of service, and safety, through retrofit of a modified urban section, including: continuous bike lanes and sidewalks, streetscape and hardscape elements, landscape, curbing, stormwater retrofits to remove pollutants from stormwater runoff, and intersection improvements, The project will also include improvements to the roadway drainage and underground sewer utility infrastructure due to age and condition, as well as, to accommodate the transportation improvements such as a roundabout and traffic calming features.
