Bike Trails Amelia Island

A Florida Department of Transportation public information workshop to discuss a multi-use trail for bicyclists and pedestrians alongside Florida A1A in Amelia Island will be discussed today at the American Beach Community Center, 1600 Julia St. in American Beach. An open house will be held from 4:30 to 6:30 p.m., followed by a opportunity for the public to comment at 6:30 p.m. The state is proposing paving a 10-foot wide asphalt path alongside Florida A1A north of the Nassau Sound Bridge and the Amelia Island State Park to Peter's Point Park, a distance of almost six miles. The paved trail will be built primarily on the east side of A1A, but will cross over to the west side in a few places. The project includes drainage structures, utility coordination and wetland permitting and is estimated at $1.6 million. Currently, the project is scheduled for construction in late 2012.
