3. Continue to work with our partners to acquire the right-of-way for the rails to trails

City Council Meeting · 2026-05-20 · agenda_item

The City of Tavares is continuing to work with partners to acquire right-of-way for a rails to trails program. This project is currently planned and under review. The acquisition of right-of-way is a foundational step that will likely lead to site clearing, grading, and potentially the installation of pathways and related amenities. Future phases could involve landscaping and the construction of supporting structures. Local contractors, suppliers, and service providers are encouraged to engage early to understand the project's progression and potential needs as plans develop. Early involvement can provide a competitive advantage before formal bidding processes begin.
