SUMMARY:
In accordance with the Section 3.28-3.33 of the Policies of the City Council, prior to any distribution of grant or sponsorship funds from the City Council Discretionary Funds, approval by City Council is required.
The Bluffline is a grassroots effort to reconnect Pensacola Residents with their environment and each other by building a public greenway from Scenic Bluffs to Jackson Lakes in West Pensacola. The Bluffline route would begin at the Chimney Park and travel southwest along the Scenic Bay Bluffs Corridor and then merge downtown with the Pensacola Waterfront Framework Plan before continuing west through Brownsville and, finally, terminating at the Jackson Lakes bluff system, a 55 acre parcel of county-owned land that includes three large, freshwater lakes and an impressive bluff system. Funding will be used as an infusion of funds to help kickstart their communications and fundraising efforts in 2023.
