3. 26-387 CONCEPT DESIGN RECOMMENDATIONS - FLORIDA SUNTRAIL

City Council Regular Meeting · 2026-05-28 · agenda_item

The City of Pensacola is reviewing concept design recommendations for the Florida SUNTRAIL Downtown Waterfront Connector Project, specifically the Urban Core Segment. This project proposes extending a trail segment east from Cedar Street to the CRX railroad parcel boundary, then north to Main Street and onward to Bartram Park. It also includes evaluating a four-way stop at Palafox and Cedar Street and exploring an alternate boardwalk route to Community Maritime Park. The project is currently under review, with recommendations recently made by the Urban Core Redevelopment Board. This initiative would likely involve site clearing and grading, underground utility work, paving for the trail and potential intersection improvements, and final landscaping. Local contractors, trades, suppliers, and service providers should consider engaging early to understand the project's scope as plans develop, as this early involvement can provide an advantage before bids and permits are finalized.
