Hillsborough Community College: Ybor Campus 2.4 Existing Infrastructure This section covers the transportation system on and off of HCC Ybor City Campus, as well as current infrastructure related to stormwater, sanitary sewer, potable water, chilled water and communications. 2.4.1 Parking/Circulation The HCC Ybor City Campus is nearly exclusively a commuter campus and much like the other HCC campuses currently suffers from a significant shortage of parking. However, once parked its compact size makes it easily walkable, and there are several apartment buildings within the area that could be utilized by students. Public transportation connections do exist within the surrounding area. 2.4.1.1 Adjacent Roadways Level of Service (LOS) The HCC Ybor City Campus lies within a grid road system that continues through Ybor City. The Major roads that serve the campus are 15 th Street, Avenida Republica De Cuba, 9 th Avenue, Palm Avenue, and Nuccio Parkway. Currently the City of Tampa keeps traffic count and Level of Service (LOS) information on the following roads: • Nuccio Parkway (15 th Street. to Palm Avenue) – LOS A • Nuccio Parkway (Palm Avenue to 7 th Avenue) – LOS A • Palm Avenue (Nebraska to 15 th Street) – LOS A • Palm Avenue (15 th Street to 22 nd Street) – LOS B 2.4.1.2 Internal Vehicular Circulation Access to the Ybor City Campus is easy, and the surrounding grid street system allows for good vehicular circulation around campus. 2.4.1.3 Parking The status of the campus as a commuter facility has meant that there has been a large allocation of land to serve the auto-orientation of the student body. There are several surface parking lots which are for faculty and staff, and the students have free access to the Palm Avenue Fernando Noriega Parking Garage nearby. In all, there are 1,137 parking spaces available for the Ybor Campus. Table 2.4.a below summarizes their distribution.

Hillsborough Community College: Ybor Campus 2.4.1.4 Transit The proximity of the HCC Ybor City Campus to Downtown and the Marion Transit Station allows for easy access to HART bus routes from campus. The routes that serve the campus are Route 5, Route 12, Route 9, and Route 18. The campus is also within close proximity to the TECOLine Streetcar on 8 th Avenue, which makes the Ybor City Campus the only one with any rail accessibility. 2.4.1.5 Pedestrian Facilities/Links The grid street pattern surrounding HCC Ybor City Campus makes it easily traversed by foot. Sidewalks exist on both sides of all right-of-ways, and the right of way is fairly narrow throughout, making crossing streets on pedestrian walks easy. There currently are striped pedestrian crossings at the signalized intersection at Palm Avenue and 15 th Street and a mid-block crossing between 15 th Street and Republica de Cuba (14 th Street) that is frequently utilized by students moving between the north and south sides of the campus. See Map 2-C Existing Conditions Parking/Circulation 2.4.2 Stormwater Figure 2.4.a: Pedestrian crossing at 9 th Avenue and 15 th Street Most of the campus area is within a stormwater basin commonly known as Central Ybor outfall. 13 th Street and 17 th Street on the east and west; and 8th and 12th avenues on the north-south bound the City stormwater management system for the campus. There is a portion of the campus west of 13 th Street that belongs to a different basin named the Nuccio outfall. The Central Ybor basin extends well north of Interstate-4. This basin is defined as those areas that are drained via a trunk line running north-south under 15 th and 16 th Streets. At Interstate-4 the trunk consists of double 54-inch pipes. As it runs south the pipe size increases. The trunk system outfalls directly into the Ybor channel. South of 3 rd Avenue to the outfall the system consists of two 5' x 6' box culverts. This stormwater system was reconstructed during construction for I-4. The City has indicated that the trunk system is generally considered adequate and since a high proportion of the Ybor City area is already impervious, that additional development is unlikely to greatly increase run off. It is thus unlikely that future additions to campus would require any downstream stormwater drainage construction. Since 2005, the City has replaced the 42-inch pipes on 15 th Street, from Palm Av. To 7 th Avenue with 72-inch pipes which addressed the small surge charging problems that occur approximately twice a year in the area. 2010 Master Plan 20
