O V E R V I E W PLAN GOALS + + + The Gateway Master Plan is about creating a vibrant, livable area that continues to aturact jobs and includes multiple options to get to work and other destinations safely and conveniently. The Gateway Master Plan creates an opportunity to build on existing assets while further integrating transportation and land use to direct the area’s growth towards a more socially, environmental, and economically sustainable future. 9

O V E R V I E W WHY A MASTER PLAN FOR THE GATEWAY? With the scarcity of land and pace of growth and change, Pinellas County will need to include a well thought out strategy for redevelopment and reuse of existing sites within the Gateway in order to maintain its competitive advantage as a regional job center. 12% VACANT 88% DEVELOPED LAND FRAGMENTED LAND USE LOW DENSITY/SPRAWLING LIMITED REMAINING LAND SIGNIFICANT ENVIRONMENTAL AND ECOLOGICAL CONSTRAINTS 1 0

O V E R V I E W WHY A MASTER PLAN FOR THE GATEWAY? While improvements have been made in reducing the crash rate, the rate of fatal and incapacitating accidents continues to be high, especially amongst bicyclists and pedestrians. There is an opportunity to develop a multi-modal network that supports economic vitality, and promotes safe, livable communities.
