New Tampa's "road to nowhere"

If you ever have had to travel from Easton Park or Cory Lake Isles in New Tampa to visit someone in Meadow Pointe in Wesley Chapel, you know that you almost have to make a complete circle to get there via Cross Creek Blvd., BBD, and County Line Road.  A more direct route has been waiting for approval and connection between Kinnan Street in New Tampa (sometimes called the "road to nowhere" because it dead ends at the county line.)  and Mansfield Blvd. in Wesley Chapel.  The two roads never have been connected (See previous blog post.). 

So what's the status of connecting the two roads after all these years?

According to a Pasco County Commissioner today, the connection will be revisited after the widening of SR 54 is completed and a traffic count is done.

New traffic signals on SR 56

The new traffic signal on SR 56 at Mansfield Blvd. is now working and the other one at SR 56/Meadow Pointe Blvd. in Wesley Chapel is flashing red and should be operational soon too.
