42nd street needs better lighting and sidewalks for the amount of students that live in the area.

More people have to be hit by cars before the city approves a project like that...

Freshmen from the surrounding counties are exempt, like Hillsborough, Pinellas & Pasco counties. Illegal? Kind of drama queenish. If you do not like the rules, then you can always go to anoth

Actually I knew someone at USF that was hit by a car on 42nd street. He was on a bike and was ambulanced to the hospital. He was fine afterwards but he had a lot of scrapes all over, you could definately see something happened to him. I think it was a hit and run and I don't recall if they caught the person.

Also a student like two or three years ago was hit and killed on BBD on the USF side at the light right before BBD and Fowler. Some of her friends cemented a "ghost bike" into the corner there in her memory, I wonder if it's still there, I remember seeing flowers left there from time to time. Tragic.

The entire area around campus needs to be improved to be more pedestrian and bicycle friendly.

I contacted the city of Tampa and heard back from Jan Washington. She said she's been receiving many calls lately about improvements to 42nd and 46th streets. October 1st is when they start new projects. Said the more and more they hear about the problems will help move the projects up.

But the area around the university is considered unincorporated Hillsborough County, isn't it? I'm not sure you may have contacted the correct person.

46th is in the city, but 42nd is not.

What would 42nd street be considered then? My brother lives on 42nd street and has a Tampa address.

I have a Tampa address as well, but I live in unincorporated Hillsborough County. A good bulk of the area around USF is unincorporated Hillsborough County or Temple Terrace. I'll take Apis's word that 46th is Tampa, but that doesn't sound right to me.

Strange. Well, it sounded like they are working on it. Maybe the city is working with the county on this one.

  • Quotes

    "There is no inherent fear among this group of players. The fear of failing drove the program from day one - the fear of failing the coaches, the fan base, the university, each teammate, themselves. Now, as we head into the biggest game in our history at home on a national stage against the highest ranked team to step on OUR field, the players are taking an introspective look at themselves. Unfortunately, I don't know if they get it. They lack the fear."

    Terry Lucas, 09/26/22

    “This is not a broken football program by any means. It just needs to be united, to get everybody on the same page, share that same vision, and really to have that standard - best is the standard.”
