A brief description of the plan:
USF’s 2010-2020 Tampa Campus Master Plan Update Goals Objectives and Policies Element 4 & 5 include several Policies to support bicycles including:
Policy 4.5.2: The University shall preserve existing street corridors for circulation and open space use. In support of 2010 planning principles establishing a more pedestrian dominated core, improving campus wayfinding, and increasing pedestrian, bicycle and vehicular safety, roadway modifications are recommended, as follows:
- The campus loop road system shall be modified to establish stronger visual and physical connections, with greater pedestrian safety, between housing areas north of Holly and campus areas south of Holly by closing the section of Holly extending east of the Crescent Garage to west of Maple Hall B to regular vehicular traffic and limiting this section of the corridor to pedestrian, bicycle, Bull Runner, emergency, and service access (special allowances lifting restrictions during move-in, move-out periods shall be permitted).
Policy 4.8.8: The University shall coordinate through the Office of Facilities Planning and Construction with the City of Tampa, City of Temple Terrace, Hillsborough County and FDOT to construct pedestrian/bicycle linkages between USF and adjacent neighborhoods and edge conditions.
Policy 5.1.1.4: (on-campus): The University shall evaluate and implement, as appropriate, opportunities of incorporating secure, covered bicycle parking and commuter centers within the proposed parking structures to encourage the use of transit, carpooling, and bicycling.
Objective 5.1.4 Provide for convenient pedestrian and bicycle ways within the transportation program.
Policy 5.1.4.1: (on-campus): The University shall enhance the pedestrian corridors with provision of shade and weather protection, including shade trees, trellises, shade structures and/or arcades,
