For over a year there have been rumors about Kinnan St. in Cross Creek being extended to connect to Mansfield. This would provide Live Oak Residents who reside in Hillsborough County another route in and out of their community. Three builders have plans to build 2,500 new homes in this area of Tampa and a 200,000 sq. ft. shopping center in the K-bar ranch.
Meadow Pointe residents however oppose the Kinnan-Mansfield connection as Mansfield is only a two lane road that currently dead ends at the two new Pasco County schools currently under construction. Once S.R. 56 is extended, it will connect to the Mansfield extension as well as Meadow Pointe Boulevard. Many Meadow Pointe residents prefer that Kinnan road be connected to Meadow Pointe Boulevard in Pasco Co.
Pasco County Assistant Administrator, Bipin Parikh opposes the application to connect the roads until S.R. 56 is extended. The extension of S.R. 56 could take another year or so. So, in the meantime there appears to be a standoff between the two counties and a road may be in the process of being extended that will go to nowhere!
