body
SUMMARY:
The “Hashtag” Waterfront Connector Trail project carries out a key component of the “Continuous Waterfront Trail” envisioned in the 2010 Urban Core Redevelopment Plan, as further conceptualized in the Pensacola Waterfront Framework Plan. The project is named for the “hashtag” shape drawn by the connecting streets - Main and Cedar Streets connecting east to west and Palafox and Jefferson connecting north and south.
Since 2019, numerous community stakeholder input sessions have been conducted in the development of the project’s conceptual design by SCAPE and finalization of the design by Dewberry Engineers. The design is now completed and a solicitation for bids to construct the project has been opened. The deadline for submission of bids is April 11, 2022.
PRIOR ACTION:
February 10, 2020 - The CRA approved the “Hashtag” Waterfront Connector improvement project for funding through the Urban Core Redevelopment Refunding and Improvement Revenue Bonds, Series 2019.
