FDOT is conducting a PD&E Study to consider adding a shared-use trail along U.S. 90 from Woodyard Road to Baldwin Avenue, and along Baldwin Avenue from U.S. 90 West to U.S. 90 East. The intent of this study is to evaluate a segment of the Florida Shared-Use Non-motorized (SUN) Trail corridor extending from Pensacola to Jacksonville and provide connectivity to support a wide range of non-motorized modes of transportation for all users. The total distance of this study is 4.4 miles. Design is funded for fiscal year 2030. Right of way and construction are not funded at this time. Maps, drawings, and other information is available for review online beginning 12 p.m. (CDT) Thursday, Aug. 6, 2026, at www.nwflroads.com/projects/452969-1. Project materials will also be available at the in-person meeting. The materials may also be viewed by contacting the FDOT Project Manager. As part of the project development process and in accordance with Section 4(f) of the Department of Transportation Act of 1966, FDOT has identified the Eagle Springs Golf and Recreation Center and the Chipley Park as Section 4(f) protected properties, and is seeking comments from the public concerning the potential effects on the activities, features, and attributes that may result from the proposed addition of the shared-use trail. Following the public comment period, and in consideration of any input received, FDOT intends to pursue a de minimis impact determination on the resources. The proposed project is subject to the requirements of Section 106 of the National Historic Preservation Act, and may result in effects to properties that are listed on, eligible, or potentially eligible for the National Register of Historic Places. FDOT is seeking comments from the public on resource identification and evaluation, and the effect determinations. Persons wishing to submit written or verbal comments may do so at the meeting or may contact the FDOT Project Manager using the information provided above.
