Project Overview
An intersection analysis and alternatives development study was completed in December 2022 that evaluated ways to improve emergency services access along Keystone Road and traffic operations at the intersection of East Lake Road.
This project will use the results of that study to design improvements to emergency access through the intersection and reduce response times for East Lake Fire Station 58 on Keystone Road east of the intersection and Tarpon Springs Fire Rescue Station 69 from west of the intersection.
