Welcome to the Evelyn City Neighborhood

Evelyn City is a subdivision of a large Tampa neighborhood known as Old Seminole Heights and was initially developed in the early 1900s. For the purposes of this blog, the boundaries will be: the Hillsborough River to the north, 275 to the West, 22nd Street to the East and Sligh Ave to the South.
There are many issues that need to be addressed and resolved in the area, however I feel that this is a great neighborhood to live in. We have a wonderful diversity of homes, people, parks, and businesses.

TPD conducted Traffic Enforcement today at Broad and Nebraska Ave. The intent is to teach drivers about the new ‘Pull Over’ law.

The rules are the following when you come upon a vehicle with active emergency lights:

If you are on a single travel lane road, you must slow down 15 miles under the posted speed.

If you are on a multiple travel lane road, if it is safe to do so you must pull into another travel lane. If it is not safe to do so, then you must drop your speed 10 miles under the posted speed limit.

While TPD is not ticketing drivers for failure to pull over today, they will ticket you for any other driving violations they witness. You will receive a warning about the ‘Pull Over’ infraction.
