The 20th St NW construction project received additional funding to construct a design improvement in February.

ROSERY ROAD PHASE 2 OF ROADWAY IMRPOVEMENTS |
|
Rosery Road connects two neighborhood activity centers in north Downtown to the Pinellas Trail and Eagle Lake County Park. The corridor has been divided into two phases. As Phase I construction neared completion, the community and City Commission requested that design for roadway modifications in front of Walmart, from Missouri Avenue to the Walmart truck entrance, be added to the project. Construction for Phase I, including the addition east of Missouri Avenue, was completed in 2022. Phase II, from Teakwood Village to Eagle Lake County Park, is currently programmed for design in 2023 and is planned for construction in 2023/2024.
Phase II of the project will include the following:
- Improvements: Roadway rehabilitation, multi-use path, sidewalks, mid-block crossings, and intersection improvements
- Other Considerations: Assessment of drainage and stormwater infrastructure needs, traffic calming
Intended outcomes for Phase II would feature improved transportation infrastructure for motorists, cyclists, and pedestrians and improved east-west connection between Pinellas Trail and Eagle Lake Park. Visit Largo.com/RoseryRoad for more information and project updates.
