DESCRIPTION/BACKGROUND:
The Belleview to Greenway Trail Corridor Feasibility Study was completed April 13, 2018. The study identified the Lake Lillian to Santos Bike Trail Connector along US 441 as the preferred route. The Belleview to Greenway Trail Connector was the first Trail priority of the Transportation Planning Office. The Florida Department of Transportation (FDOT) decided in 2022 to break out the Belleview, Lake Lillian section and complete the FDOT portion only. The Belleview, Lake Lillian section could apply for alternative funding to complete the project. The City contracted with Kimley-Horn to prepare an application and apply for the Transportation Alternative Set-Aside Program Statewide Funding. The city applied and did not receive funding. The City is requesting Marion County's assistance to apply for FDOT funding through the FDOT, Local Agency Program.
