Financial Management No. 439874-1-22-01 Project Description: St. Johns River to Sea Loop PD&E Study from Lake Beresford Park to Grand Avenue in Volusia County The Florida Department of Transportation (FDOT) is conducting an informational public meeting for the St. Johns River to Sea Loop Project Development and Environment (PD&E) study from Lake Beresford Park to Grand Avenue in DeLand, in Volusia County. The St. Johns River to Sea Loop is a 260-mile trail system that will link together several communities including St. Augustine, Daytona Beach, Titusville, DeLand, and Palatka. The PD&E study is evaluating options for a multi-use trail that will close the 3.6-mile gap between existing trails terminating within Lake Beresford Park to the south and at the junction of Grand Avenue and Minnesota Avenue to the north. At this time, the study team is in the process of collecting engineering and environmental data and developing multi-use trail alternatives. This public meeting is the first of two meetings being held throughout the 18-month study. The purpose of the meeting is to introduce the project to the public and to receive input from interested stakeholders.
