FDOT Work Program Item Segment (WPI) Number: 439832-5
County Road 52
Meridian Avenue/21st Street/Suwanee Way/St. Joe Road Intersection
Project Development and Environment (PD&E) Study in
Pasco County, Florida

The Preferred Alternative for this project was presented at the public meeting on July 30, 2024 which includes connecting County Road 52/Meridian Avenue, east of 21st Street, to Suwanee Way/St. Joe Road, west of 21st Street, approximately 0.16 mile long. The proposed improvements will create a 4-leg intersection with County Road 52/21st Street and St. Joe Road/Suwanee Way/Meridian Avenue. The proposed improvements include two 11-foot travel lanes with turn lanes throughout the corridor. Along County Road 52/21st Street, from Church Avenue to Suwanee Way, the design includes a 12-foot and an 8-foot sidewalk, with a 6-foot sidewalk on the east side from Suwanee Way to Missouri Avenue. On CR 52/Meridian Avenue from 21st Street to west of 17th Street, the typical section includes an 8-foot sidewalk on the north side and a 6- to 12-foot sidewalk on the south side. Along St. Joe Road/Suwanee Way from 22nd Street to 21st Street, the improvements include a 12-foot sidewalk on the south side. The Design, Right of way, and Construction phases are currently funded in FDOT’s Five-Year Work Program Fiscal Years 2024/2025 - 2028/2029.

This project is currently in the design phase and will now proceed with further development.
