Pinellas County “Doing Things for YOU” !

Looks like you sat on this for less than a month and did nothing. Again nothing has been done. Why doesn't Tom Washburn come down here with his brand new car and pull an illegal u-turn and have his bumper ripped off. I'll be sure to come out and give him one of the world's best cupcakes! THE MEDIAN IS STILL THERE. An illegal u-turn is the only way southbound traffic on 100th Way can get to my business. Look for yourself how useless this median is: www.youtube.com/watch?v=nZRJu9c7zSE Why is no one doing anything about this? Pinellas Works Traffic Management did nothing to address this cluster. IT IS DANGEROUS TO UTURN ON BAY PINES BLVD! Why is Pinellas Works Traffic Management not removing the median?!?
Concerned business owner and citizen,
Aaron Lippard

Aaron - Thank you for letting us know the issue that you reported has not been resolved. I have forwarded this report to our Public Works Traffic again for their review.

You must be an awful driver. I can make the u-turn in an SUV, with no issues.

The traffic/sign issue that you reported to Pinellas County - SeeClickFix, has been forwarded to Pinellas County Public Works Traffic Engineering Division, so that they may investigate and take any necessary action.
Thank You for your input!

This is not a game. SeeClickIgnore should not be this forums public policy. Have a 3rd party entity come and measure this uturn. It IS illegal. Thanks.

We have forwarded this concern to Traffic Engineering to respond. We are closing this request for Traffic Management only.

Thanks for your interest in public safety.

Why do you keep closing my request? Until this is resolved, then it needs to be left open...not just closed and pawned off into nowhere land.

Response from Pinellas County Traffic Engineering:

Based on the initial inquiry – on 6/4/2015 Pinellas County Traffic Engineering initiated a traffic study.
The study consists of observation of the traffic at the intersection of 100th Way North and Bay Pines Boulevard and a review of the crash data.
Due to current workloads and higher priority complaints, the study should be complete by the end of July, 2015; at which time we will get back with Mr. Lippard and let him know our findings.

Higher priority? There are tens of thousands of Florida residents and visitors who are on 100th Way everyday and with all the new development it is only going to increase. Why could you have not just said you were doing a "study" in the beginning? And by study you mean to tell me that it takes two months to measure a lane to see if the length provided is legal or not? Let's just leave this open until I get an actual answer.

We appreciate your input and want to thank you for your patience.

As discussed in our initial response to this concern, Pinellas County Traffic Engineering conducted a study to determine if there was an issue with southbound vehicles completing a u-turn at the intersection of 100th Way and Bay Pines Boulevard. Our study consisted of collecting the number of u-turns and reviewing crash data. The counts were collected with a camera that allowed us to review the turning maneuvers to see if motorists are having a recurring problem.

The counts showed numerous vehicles completing the southbound u-turn without incident. Only a few of the vehicles appeared to have difficulty or had to complete a multi-point turn to do so.

The crash data does not show any incidences resulting from southbound vehicles making a u-turn at the intersection and the County has not been contacted by any motorist that incurred damage as a result of not being able to complete a u-turn or by law enforcement that may have investigated such an incident.

Our review of the design standards and field measurements indicate that there is sufficient median width to allow standard passenger vehicles and pick-up trucks to complete the u-turn movement within the travel lanes. We do agree that larger vehicles or those pulling a trailer would have difficulty – there are several options available if a vehicle is southbound on 100th Way and wishes to access the properties on the east side, but does not feel comfortable completing a u-turn at Bay Pines Boulevard.

It is important to note that it is not illegal to complete a southbound u-turn on 100th Way at Bay Pines Boulevard. The median was installed as part of the Wal-Mart development that opened in July of last year – it is not an illegal median.
