Project Description: Evaluate a multi-use trail along State Road (S.R.) 19 from County Road (C.R.) 450 (Bulldog Lane) to S.R. 40 and the planned Black Bear Scenic Trail.

The Florida Department of Transportation (FDOT) is conducting a Corridor Planning Study to assess alternative alignments for a multi-use trail from C.R. 450 in the City of Umatilla to S.R. 40, approximately 19 miles. The corridor is anticipated to follow S.R. 19, though potential alternative paths will also be evaluated.

Your interest in this study is truly valued and appreciated. This is a working meeting with FDOT staff and PVT members, which is open to public attendance. Comment cards will be provided for any questions and comments regarding this study by the public, otherwise the public may contact the study team before or after the meeting.
