Neighbors in the Fish Hawk community in Hillsborough County report frustration over traffic in the area. **HILLSBOROUGH COUNTY, Fla. ** - Hillsborough County is exploring solutions to ongoing traffic issues along Lithia Pinecrest Road after Fish Hawk residents expressed frustrations. Drivers said the start of the school year has worsened the issue. Jim Gaffney moved to the area with his family 9 years ago.

He said, "Schools are great," he said. "It’s a healthy community with great principles for families and kids. " Every day he commutes to work driving the entirety of Lithia Pinecrest Road. "Off hours, with green lights, it’s about a 13 to 15-minute drive. On a typical Wednesday evening, coming home at 5:15 at night, it’s closer to 50 minutes, almost an hour," he said.

He believes it's partially due to the road na.
