4 issues in roads with high priority
School drop-off traffic on Texas and Carolina Avenues
Two longtime residents described years of dangerous congestion, blocked driveways, and hostile parents from drivers using a residential block as an unofficial drop-off lane for the high school. Staff explained the gate opens for pedestrians and pledged continued talks with the school and sheriff, with an update due in a couple of weeks.
Tri-County MPO Merger and Dunedin's Representation
Hillsborough, Pinellas, and Pasco may merge their three MPOs into one 25-member regional transportation board.

FY 2026 Street Resurfacing Program
About 30 streets get milled and repaved this year under a $1.53 million contract, with the low bid allowing extra curbing and the addition of Robmar Drive. Expect construction disruption in late April through July.

Duke Energy expects to finish undergrounding utilities on Skinner by late summer/fall, but one holdout property owner refuses to participate, leaving poles standing. The Advisory Committee also flagged speeding from Main Street into Skinner as a safety concern.
