Several speakers Unidentified A: the Orange Belt Trail. Hope you have answering these.
Several speakers Jack Mariano: Yes, the Orange Belt Trail we're gonna move that I need a motion to move that back to the next meeting. That'll be
Several speakers Mike Carballa: September 9th, um, uh which is a Wednesday back here in Dade City is is our intention.
Several speakers Kathryn Starkey: There there is the probably the most major trail of the county coming north of of fifty two there. It's called the Orange Belt Trail.
Starkey Thank you. Um uh Tina Russo is is uh watching us and she just reminded me and I meant to say this, so as you know, Tower Road is the Orange Belt Trail. So one of the most Important trails. I think it's gonna be in the Tampa Bay area. It's gonna be the Orange Belt Trail and that is gonna go right in front of it. So another function of this park is a trailhead for the Orange Belt Trail. And right now we don't have a even have a trailhead for the Starkey Trail. People are parking on the grass over there on Trinity Boulevard. Um And um and Tina mentions that she also did work with BMX in Hillsborough County. So um I um recall that the legislature helped fund the rowing complex. In Sarasota County. I don't know if our county attorney who lives down in that area knows anything about that, but they got a nice allocation. She was here. And so there are there
Starkey Yeah. Um it's easy to put those on those signs and let those folks who were riding the trails uh nowhere restaurants or other services or other amenities are around you. So I hope that we get maybe this is the year we get going on some branding. And that that trail that you saw going across the county Uh it's called the Orange Belt Trail. And that f that somewhat follows the Orange Belt Railroad right away, which sadly This county did not hold on to. We have some of it. Um, but it was actually auctioned off on our courthouse steps decades ago. When I became a commissioner, I I I think I stopped it. I tried to stop it. So um we have to do some workarounds. Uh but we uh It's just another route for the coast to coast and it it has more economic opportunity in our county because it goes through some some areas. uh where the where there is opportunity where the the s current Sun Coast
Several speakers Jack Mariano: In Date City. Do you have a second? Second. All in favor say aye.
Starkey It's the Sun Trail funding. Okay. And so we have we do have that coming on the I believe it's the south side of Trinity Boulevard. It'll go all the way up and connect to the existing trail um at the your public's there at um community drive and then Parts of it are already built that goes all the way to Rangeland and that'll eventually come up here to the With Lacucci State Trail. That is the continuation of the Pinellas County Trail. It's the old Orange Belt Railroad line and that construction should be starting soon. So I don't know if you might go back to your Pinellas County um um folks and make sure they have They have they do have the right-of-way, they can continue that to East Lake. That would be good. Then we could connect that stretch to the Penales County Trail over there at where it comes to East Lake and Tarpin. And I I do believe that more and more people are gonna use those trails to get to work um on those electric bikes and scooters and we
Several speakers Lisa Yeager: All right, I make a motion to move R fifty seven back to the next meeting.
Starkey Because this is a little different than the maps that Clark and I have been talking about. Because if you look to the left you'll see the underpass for the Orange Belt Trail. But that corridor is not reflected on this map. So
Starkey Do you have more questions? No, I'm good thinking and maybe I might generate some for you. Okay. Um so I wrote down things as people were talking to talk about. Um someone brought up the roundabout up south branch. Well, I think you what you just said is the reason why we're doing these roundabouts. It makes it safer for pedestrians to get across. This is a major trail for the county coming through here, the Orange Belt Trail. It's starting in Trinity, May. already started in Trinity and is going all the way across the county to the Withlacuochie State Park. And we want people to be, all those people that live on the south side, to be able to safely get to the trail. And uh and traffic, you know, traffic calming. If we don't have those roundabouts and we have that, and I'm talking now on the west side, we won't have this, I think, on the east side, but if we have this road with wilderness on one side and very few cross crossings,
Several speakers Kathryn Starkey: that um state funding from um was it state or federal for the bike the the uh Orange Belt Trail is coming along Trinity Boulevard. What where's that funding coming from
