[555 South Washington Avenue, Titusville, FL 32796] The City of Titusville Community Redevelopment Agency (CRA) is reviewing the Draft Downtown Trails Amenities Master Plan. This plan, developed with a consultant funded by $40,000, evaluates existing trail infrastructure and identifies gaps in trail identity, wayfinding, lighting, trailheads, bicycle amenities, and economic activation nodes across five CRA districts: Civic Waterfront, Uptown, Downtown, Midtown, and Historic Residential. Key components include a scalable amenity deployment strategy (Base Nodes, Enhanced Nodes, and Trail Hubs), corridor enhancement concepts for Broad Street, South Palm Avenue, and South Street, district-specific implementation priorities, and a funding matrix for grants. The plan aims to transition the trail network from a regional pass-through corridor to a cohesive, branded, and economically supportive destination system. The CRA Board is asked to approve the draft plan for further review and direction before finalization and phased implementation. The meeting is scheduled for April 14, 2026. This document outlines the Titusville Community Redevelopment Agency's (CRA) strategic plan for bicycle and pedestrian amenities, focusing on enhancing connectivity, comfort, and usability across five districts: Civic Waterfront, Downtown, Uptown, Midtown, and Historic Residential. The plan details recommended improvements such as trail-oriented wayfinding signage, sidewalk expansion, pedestrian-scale lighting, trash receptacles, bicycle amenities, public art, and gateway features. It also identifies funding opportunities from various state and federal programs, including AARP, FDEP, FDOT, and USDOT, for projects like parkland development, trail construction, safety enhancements, and beautification. The document also includes a preliminary budget for FY 2027, allocating funds for infrastructure improvements, building renovations, trail town amenities, and professional services. A financial audit for FY 2025 is also presented, detailing the CRA's assets, liabilities, income, and operating expenses.
