MOMENTUM IS BUILDING! The public involvement accomplished throughout this project has been incredible! Citizens and agencies have not only been participating but have gone above and beyond to work with the project team on all aspects of the project. The project continues to move forward with full momentum as the final stages of the Master Plan process nears.

There has been a huge initiative to get input from community members, local and state entities, and organizations in the region. There have been two rounds of public workshops completed, two rounds of Technical Advisory Committee and Trail Advocacy Group meetings, presentations at cities and counties included in the study area, and updates brought to the CRTPA and their boards.

The input from the public outreach thus far has contributed to the following accomplishments:

• Development of a conceptual paved multiuse trail network throughout Leon and Wakulla Counties

• Prioritization of significant routes and key destinations within the study area

• Development of trail and trailhead classifications

• Creation of guiding principles and evaluation criteria

• Potential funding sources

• Marketing ideas for the corridor once it is constructed

Survey Results The project survey was available online and in a printable version over the summer. There was an overwhelming response of almost 300 surveys. Over 95% of respondents support the Capital City to the Sea Trails Project!

IMPORTANT UPCOMING DATESPublic Workshop #3

You are encourage to attend this final public workshop to provide input on the project recommendations. This workshop will include the input and feedback from the first two workshops to create a summary presentation, maps, and other meeting materials. This workshop will summarize all of the previous input and recommendations, so the participants can see the results of their hard work.

SPECIAL OUTREACHUsers of Various AgesMembers of the project team went to the Active Living Expo at the Tallahassee Senior Center. We discussed the Capital City to the Sea Trails project and answered any questions about the project. The project team also attended the Strive Not to Drive event, which was held at the Florida State University Campus.

Different User GroupsThe project team has met with representatives for traditional user groups, including the Gulf Winds Track Club, Capital City Cyclists, and the Souther Trailriders Association. The project team also met with different user groups, including local hunters in the area. This coordination has opened a dialogue about the trails and helped to identify various solutions that can be considered to minimize user conflicts.

Users With a Range of AbilitiesAnother stakeholder who has met with the project team is David Jones from Florida Disabled Outdoors Association. David and other advocates for persons with disabilities are working with us to develop a network of trails that can be experienced by users with a broad range of abilities.

Broad User RepresentationThe project team has actively engaged a broad user base. To both inform and gain input from a broad user base, including portions of the community that are typically underrepresented, project newsletters, flyers, and surveys have been distributed widely across the community. This information has been made available at retail locations, public libraries, community centers, senior centers, and various other locations. “I think this is the type of quality project of

life enhancement that can attract visitors, new residents, and keep existing residents in our area! It will help keep Leon and Wakulla counties as wonderful places to live with exciting choices of healthy activity for everyone!” - Survey Respondent

Guiding Principles Evaluation Criteria

Improve Quality of Life Increases Transportation OpportunitiesIncreases Health, Wellness, and Recreational Opportunities

Connect People and Places

Creates a Regional Facility (including connections to existing trails)Creates a Local FacilityEnhances Connectivity to Existing and Planned Development (including connections via public transportation, sidewalks and bicycle lanes, and existing trails)

Provides Public Connectivity to Managed Public Lands (including connectivity to State Parks, National Forests, State Forests, Schools and Educational Opportunities)Provides Connectivity for Transportation Disadvantaged (Title VI Protected Communities)Builds a better transportation network to attract differently-abled people

Corridor Notes • Would connect existing St. Marks Trail to Ochlockonee Bay Trail• Would connect St. Marks, Medart, Panacea, and Ochlockonee Bay Communities • Would connect existing trails, Wakulla Middle School, Wakulla High School, Medart Elementary School, Medart Recreation Park, Wooley Park, and St. Marks National Wildlife Refuge • Potential trailhead location at U.S. 98 and St. Marks Trail intersection• Would enhance the Big Bend Scenic Byway

Potential Alternatives • Shared use path along U.S. 98 • Shared use path along Florida National Scenic Trail• Shared use path along Florida National Scenic Trail near the St. Marks Trail, then transition to shared use path along U.S. 98• Designated bicycle lanes along U.S. 98• No build alternative

This recommendation connects the existing GF&A Trail at Trout Pond to the City of Tallahassee. This connection has several alternative options that will be evaluated during the environmental documentation. This recommendation would connect to:• Downtown Tallahassee• Capital Cascades Park• Florida A&M University• Florida State University• St. Marks Trail• GF&A Trail at Trout Pond• Dr. Charles Billing Greenway• Much more!

This recommendation connects the existing St. Marks Trail to Panacea and Ochlockonee Bay Trail. The total length of the connection is over 20 miles and includes:• Wakulla Middle School• Wakulla High School• Medart Recreation Park• Wooley Park• Wildwood Resort• Florida National Scenic Trail• Wakulla Environmental Institute

This recommendation connects the existing St. Marks Trail to the south end of the GF&A Trail at Trout Pond through Bloxham Cutoff Road. It goes through:• Wakulla State Forest• Edward Ball Wakulla Springs State Park• The proposed Heritage Village• Riversink Elementary SchoolThe trail is over 11 miles long and with the proposed Tallahassee to Trout Pond Trail, could create a large loop within Leon and Wakulla counties.

PROJECT RECOMMENDATIONS The project team used data collection and the results from public workshops to analyze each of the different trail components with the evaluation criteria. This determined which trails should be evaluated in the PD&E process and, once funding becomes available, which connections should be constructed first. Maps of the corridors and components are available on the project website at www.CC2ST.com/project-information/
