City of Tampa Transportation Division staff is developing a map recommending suitable bicycle routes to the newly opened downtown Curtis Hixon Park and adjacent Tampa Museum of Art from the north, south, east and west.
We are asking for your input on what streets are, in your opinion, are the most suitable on-road routes. Below is a preliminary map tentatively identifing eight (8) bicycle routes within a 3-mile radius of Curtis Hixon Park. 3-miles was deemed a reasonable distance for a recreational rider to reach Curtis Hixon Park in 20 to 30 minutes. These routes were based on information from the City of Tampa Greenways and Trails Master plan and the MPO Hillsborough County Bicycle Suitability Map. This preliminary map is attached.
These routes potentially provide Curtis Hixon Park with access from neighborhoods in Davis Island, East Tampa, Harbor Island, Hyde Park, Palmetto Beach, South Tampa, Tampa Heights, and West Tampa. GIS census analysis show over 70,000 City residents live within a half mile of these routes.
In particular experienced Tampa cyclists may have better routes in mind and we would like their expertise. Please feel free to forward this email to other interested users.
Please email, fax, drop off any comments or maps by March 1st.

A new report released by the Alliance for Biking & Walking shows that lack of investment in biking and walking could be contributing to higher traffic fatalities and chronic disease rates in the U.S. 
Bicycling and Walking in the United States: The 2010 Benchmarking Report reveals that in almost every state and major U.S. city, bicyclists and pedestrians are at a disproportionate risk of being killed, and receive less than their fair share of transportation dollars.
