Smce February of2oo7 we have wnllen to the Department ofTransponnllon In I ampa
We arc seckmg a solullon to the problem the new construction overpass has caused us all
\VlIh a slgl1lficant drop m traffic for all the stores, along wllh customer contusIOn to
where we are
We receIved a responsc from Mr Skehon on February 12,2007 (allached) thcn agalll
April 19, 2007 after wntlllg Congressman Blhmkls
On behalfofall the tenants at the Drew 19 Shoppmg Center, r ongmally wrOte a letter to
the DOT on January 31,2007, (attached) requesting a Simple form of eXit Stgnage for our
Drew 19 Shopplllg Center, which has sulTered from the ongomg coostruClron and
overpass All the ~10re managers from BeslBuy, Babies R Us. Rooms to Go. GUItar City
and my store, Marshall's agree that we have all becn affected In sales and traflie due to
thiS Slluatlon
We asked for .1 genenc hlgn, ....hlch would Simply state, "Shoppmg Center Next Exu"
We feel strongly as we stated III OUl letter that we lo~ many ellstomers espcc18l1y tOUriStS
VItal to our bUSIness who SImply don't see tile stores due to the new overpass
ThiS small eXIl sign placed on both SIdes of the roadway would not be the cure all for our
slIualton but It would surely help
The first response we l'CCeIVcd from Mr Skelton, was dlsappoll111ng as we feelthetr
answer to the problem With signs shOWing the address numbers Will not do much to help
our Slluallon Dnvers In my opinIOn need qUick sound Inlorma\lon as they pass all ehlt,
and address mllnbel s we feel may fullillthe federal gUIdelines but not do much If
anythlOg for our bU~lOesses The second response \>ve received thiS past April of course
puts us back .It ~quare one, and we hope you may have some Il1put fo assl~t us
I have been 111 recent talks With Jim Moulton, at the DOT, Tampa regarding mcellng us
halfway With eXit slgnh atleasltlll all the construcllon I~ completed further up the road
(As of May 7, I have nol had a response back yet) We would prefer permanenl slgnage
but would ncceptthls at least to educate flonda reSidents who shop III our area

Dear Mr Vetere
Congres~man Blhra1<ls ha~ requel>ted that we respond to your March 21, 2007 letter sent
to his office regardIng your request for "Shopping Center Next EXit" slgrung on U S 19
at the Drew Street Interchange
As noted In our preVious response dated on February 12, 2007, the Department IS
receptive to the concerns exprc~~ed In your leiter, but Cdn only approve signing that
meets State dIld Federal standards The pnnclple~ used m the development of our system
of hIghway Signing, focuses on d motonsts abIlity to receIve, pro<.ess and respond fo
mfonnatlon In n safe and efficlCnt manner StudlCs have shown that an Increase In the
number of Slgn~ Installed along our roadways breeds diSrespect for Signs In general
Therefore; It tS cntlcal that we limIt fhe number of slgnmg InstallatIons to only those that
contnbute to the ~fe opera lion of the highway system With thiS In mmd, the mstallatlon
of busmess slgmng IS stnctly prohibited on State R/W. One could well Imagme the
multitude of additional slgmng requests from shoppmg centers and other busmesses If we
set a precedent by approving your rcque::.t
This prohferatlon of addlllonal ~Ignlng would have a major Impact on the operahonal
safety of our hIghways For these reasons, we Will be unable to honor your request to
Install "ShOPPing Center Next EXIt" slgnmg on U S 19 at the Drew Street mterchange

After speakll1g with Ms 'vIanon Scorla at YOllr office. she suggested that we wnte a leller
to you regardmg our frustra\1on to better designate the C'(lt ramps at Drew Street Man}
CU~lOmers complain to liS that they can t ~ee ollr stores from the road and mtss the e"t
Along with the sign you already have deslgnaung the Drew Street e'(lt for Bnghthouse
Field and for a Umver~J\Y If you could consIder a sign for us that SImply Mate~ 'Drew
Street Shoppmg Center Next E'\II or Drew 19 Shopplllg Center Ne'\"! E"n" We realize
the sign mllst be \\orded In a genenc way and that s fine but thiS Will at leaM help our
retaIl traffic an some manner to alert shopper~ thai the e'lt IS ahead
In c10SIIlg. as I have menlloned earher we have all ~uffered 10 some degrcc With the new
ovel pass and would apprecIate your conslderallon to have a Stgn as we propose Inslalled
at both slde~ oflhe roadway
