The Proposed Trail Connectivity Project
• Safely Connect Tryon Park and West Bay Park
• Using County Owned Property
• Minimize impact on Neighborhood and Properties
Why Is This Needed
• Major safety issue with trail users crossing Empire BLVD
• These are the only 2 shared-use Parks currently in Monroe County and connectivity between is important to the trail community
