TPO to establish city bicycle path network

Public Affairs Manager for the North Florida Transportation Planning Organization, Marci Larson, has invited Historic City News readers to participate in a study to identify popular destinations, preferred routes and obstructions to bicycling within and around the City of St. Augustine.

The Transportation Planning Organization’s goal will be to develop a network of bicycle routes and an accompanying way finding system within the City.

Two public outreach events will be held Saturday, January 22, 2011 at the following locations:

Old City Farmers’ Market at the St. Augustine Amphitheatre
1340 A1A South, St. Augustine
9:00 a.m. – Noon

Picnic area adjacent to the Historic Downtown Parking Facility
Orange Street at Cordova Street
1:00 p.m. – 4:00 p.m.

Project information and response materials are also available on the Transportation Planning Organization’s website: www.northfloridatpo.com

Contact Elizabeth De Jesus, commuter services manager, 904-306-7505 if you have questions.
