• Pinellas County study underway for East Lake Road corridor to manage growing traffic, construction to come (tampabay28.com) — Heavy traffic on East Lake Road has pushed Pinellas County to launch a long-term corridor study that could lead to lane widening, new signal timing, and safer crossings, with construction expected around 2031.
