City manager announces Ridge Scenic Highway Connector Trail open house; design financed by FDOT grant
Summary
City Manager James Oh said the Ridge Scenic Highway Connector Trail project is advancing with a Florida Department of Transportation (FDOT) grant funding the design phase and announced an open house listed as "1/7" from 4 to 6 p.m. at the women's club to review plans and next steps.
City Manager James Oh said the Ridge Scenic Highway Connector Trail project is advancing after the city secured a grant from the Florida Department of Transportation. "This was a grant we got through FDOT a few years ago, and so, the first phase is for design, and then later, there'll be some construction funding allocated," James Oh said.
Oh described the trail segment as running from Central Avenue up 3rd Street to a trailhead north of the CSX line and said the project has been in planning for several years. He announced an open house listed in meeting materials as "1/7" from 4 to 6 p.m. at the women's club to share design plans and accept public comment.
The city manager characterized the current funding as design-phase money with construction funding to be allocated later. No formal action or vote on the project occurred during the meeting; Oh framed the open house as an informational step in the project's public-engagement timeline.
The commission did not debate the trail at length during the meeting. For now, the next public step is the advertised open house for residents to review plans and ask questions; the transcript lists the open house date as "1/7" but does not specify the month beyond that string.
