Joe’s Creek Greenway Trail Alignment Study Public Meeting

The Department of Health in Pinellas County has granted Forward Pinellas funds to determine a preferred trail alignment for Joe’s Creek Greenway Trail as identified in the Forward Pinellas Bicycle Pedestrian Master Plan. The preferred alignment will be documented in the final trail alignment report along with illustrative sections/sketches, narrative, and an opinion of probable construction costs. This study will be an integral part of our multimodal transportation planning process that aims to achieve a healthy and safe route for bicycle and pedestrian travel from Joe’s Creek Neighborhood Greenway to the Pinellas Trail and surrounding communities. Forward Pinellas is coordinating this study with the Pinellas County Planning Department, which is contributing nearly $35,000 in funding for a total study cost of about $88,000. The project is scheduled to be completed by May 31, 2017.

Forward Pinellas’ consultant, AECOM, will provide an overview of the data gathering and analysis phase of the study. Comment cards will be collected and route option maps will be displayed onsite. For questions or special accommodations, please contact Forward Pinellas staff at 727-464-8200.
