Bayshore Linear Park Trail and Bayshore Greenway run along the corridor. The City was <br />interested in providing bicycle access along southbound Bayshore Boulevard through the Florida Department of <br />Transportation’s Local Agency Program. There were three phases of the project. Phase 1 was constructed in 2012. Phase 2 <br />construction was conducted May 2015. E Sciences assisted the City of Tampa with review of the Phase 3 plans through a <br />continuing arborist services contract. <br />Initial Phase 3 plans included widening the pavement into the existing median on the east side of the southbound lanes. The <br />City was concerned that trees in the median may be impacted by the proposed construction. E Sciences conducted an arborist <br />assessment of trees within the Bayshore Boulevard right-of-way and determined that widening within the median would likely <br />impact numerous mature live oak trees. E Sciences recommended a combination of lane narrowing and widening to the west to <br />avoid impacts. E Sciences later reviewed revised plans for impacts associated with widening to the west. <br />ESciences, Inc.
