TAMPA, Fla. — The Tampa Downtown Partnership is looking to see what the public would like to see to improve Franklin Street in Downtown Tampa.

The Tampa Downtown Partnershipstarted preliminary community outreach efforts related to overall community visioning of the Franklin Street corridor from Jackson Street to Palm Avenue in downtown Tampa, Florida.

Franklin Street is Tampa's historic "Main Street" downtown that thrived as one of the city's primary commercial corridors from the late 1800s into the mid-1900s.

The Tampa Downtown Partnership would like your input as part of a comprehensive effort to evaluate the future vision for Franklin Street in downtown Tampa.

It looks to identify the corridor's existing strengths and weaknesses, engage community stakeholders, and identify short and long-term opportunities for improvements related to the corridor.

Transportation and design leaders have created an online survey asking people to rank items by importance to them, including road safety measures and public art.
