PACE — Santa Rosa County planners and the West Florida Regional Planning Council will develop a bicycle-pedestrian plan for Pace and Pea Ridge.
The overall objective is to determine area needs and wants regarding non-motorized transportation alternatives or bicycle-pedestrian facilities.
These meetings on the matter are open to all:
- Oct. 25, 10 a.m. at Benny Russell Park, 5417 West Spencer Field Road in Pace
- Nov. 2, 12 p.m. at Santa Rosa County Development Services, 6051 Old Bagdad Highway in Milton
- Nov. 3, 6 p.m. at Pace Fire Rescue, 4773 Pace Patriot Boulevard in Pace
Each meeting will include a presentation on built and planned infrastructure, health and crash statistics, and economic and health benefits of the "complete streets" concept.
Staff will be available to hear ideas and concerns as well as answer questions. Attendees are encouraged to mark up large maps of the project area, identifying needed projects and safety concerns.
The team has surveyed existing bike-ped facilities and researched crash data in the project area. The plan will encompass communities from Luther Fowler Road on the north to Sterling Way on the south and the county boundary on the west to Tanglewood Road, Suwane Road, Creek Lane and Shell Road to the east.
A survey is available at www.PacePeaRidgeBikePedPlan.org for the public to provide feedback. An opportunity to see updates and comment on posts is available on Facebook @PacePeaRidgeBikePedPlan.
