PURPOSE: The purpose of this item is to update the City Commission 'on the "Seminole County Greenways Trails & Bikeways-Conceptual Master Plan" and select a method for developing a "Trails and Bikeways-Conceptual Master Plan" for the City of Winter Springs. CONSIDERATIONS: * * The Parks and Recreation Director was requested to serve as the City's representative on the Countywide Greenways, Trails and Bikeways Task Force in October, 1995. The Task Force consists of twenty-four members in addition to the consultant and staff support from Seminole County. The Task Force has scheduled and held nine working meetings for the conceptual plan development. A brief presentation will be made by the Countywide Trails, Greenways and Bikeways Task Force to the City of Winter Springs Commission on August 12, 1996. The presentation will update the Commission on the Seminole County Greenways, Trails & Bikeways Conceptual Master Plan which has been developed by the Countywide Greenways, Trails & Bikeways Task Force and was adopted by the Seminole County Commission on June 11, 1996. Page 2 Trails-Agenda Item August 12, 1996 ISSUE ANALYSIS: * * See attached: Seminole County-Master Plan (draft)-Attachment #1 Seminole County Greenways, Trails & Bikeways/Program Vision Summary-Attachment #2 Seminole County Government Work Session-Agenda Item-Attachment #3 In September, 1995 the Community Development Coordinator and Parks and Recreation Director stated that they envisioned a dual trail and route system which would facilitate the City in the most safe and efficient manner. The proposed process at this time was to review the Seminole County Greenways, Trails & Bikeways Conceptual Master Plan upon completion and then develop the Winter Springs Master Plan so that the two plans would compliment each other. The two systems are speculated to develop and function as follows: A. A prime or major trail would serve those users wishing to cross through the City in route to Ovideo, Casselberry and Longwood. The Cross Seminole Trail, Florida National Scenic Trail and the Longwood Connector/E.E. Williamson Road will facilitate these needs. It is speculated that these trail systems will be funded in the future through the County or other resources. B. A secondary or community oriented trail system could be developed and phased which would serve the local residents. This system would provide linkages between schools, communities, parks and any other community serving activity centers and also connect where appropriate to the prime/major trails. A community trails system should be one which the residents and total community can and will support due to it being convenient and an attractive service alternative for a myriad of uses by the citizenry. Page 3 Trails-Agenda Item August 12, 1996 * * FUNDING: * * * Other City's past experiences have demonstrated that when the citizenry is not involved in the conceptual design, traiVroute designations and the general overall plan development-major issues of resistance arise and retard the process. This results with only quasi-successes experienced with fund raisers, community workshops, etc. We recently received a letter from Representative Tom Feeney, District 33, Florida House of Representatives supporting the concept of Greenways and Trails. See Attachment #4. No funding has been requested or authorized for the development of a Conceptual Trails & Bikeways Master Plan. The five year Capital Improvement Program revised in February, 1996 designates funding requirements in the amount of $75,000.00 for each of the four FY years of'97- '98,'98- '99, '99-2000 and 2000-2001. Possible funding sources which may serve to fund the partial development of the trails within the City are: -Seminole County "Neighborhoods In Action" matching Grants program -Florida Greenways Commission-Small Grants Program -ISTEA Funds -Florida Recreation Development Assistance Program -Land and Water Conservation Fund No funding is presently required for the development of a conceptual "Trails & Bikeways Master Plan" for the City of Winter Springs if the Parks and Recreation Department and Community Development Coordinator orchestrate a community based design committee to meet and research the community needs, outline and address issues and then develop the conceptual plan for Commission review and approval. Page 4 Trails-Agenda Item August 12, 1996 RECOMMENDA TION: * The Parks and Recreation Director recommends that the Commission nominate and approve the following: (A) The appointment of a volunteer twelve (12) person community based design committee to work with and assist the Parks and Recreation Director and the Community Development Coordinator in the development of a Conceptual Trails & Bikeways Master Plan which can be presented to the Commission for future approval or response. (B) The recommended "design committee" make-up is: - Two (2) citizens from each respective Commission District, nominated by the District Commissioner. Ten (10) total. - Two (2) citizens nominated at large by the Mayor. -Community Development Coordinator. -Parks and Recreation Director. IMPLEMENTATION SCHEDULE: * Upon acceptance and approval of the recommendation it is speculated that approval of the Design Committee nominees could be made at the August 26,1996 and/or September 9,1996 Commission meetings if the Commission deems it appropriate. * The projects research, identification of needs and issues and subsequent design development is estimated to carry the process through a minimum of six (6) months of activity. When consideration is given to the Holiday period of November and December it is gauged that plan development could possibly conclude by late March, 1997.

N. :1 "-}'; ; ,,1; Bikeways Conceptual Master Plan Introduction Seminole County recognizes that green ways, trails and bikeways are an integral part of enhancing a vibrant community and diverse local economy. Trails and greenways are important recreational facilities, linking the County's Natural Lands parcels, parks, schools and neighborhoods. The County also . recognizes that integrated pedestrian and bikeway systems are important elements of a viable transportation system. This plan creates a conceptual framework for the phased implementation of a system of greenways, trails and bikeways to meet both the recreation needs and alternative transportation needs of Seminole County residents. Why Greenways, Trails and Bikeways? · Community enhancement and revitalization · Better access to County parks and facilities Community asset to attracting quality development · Trail dollars boost local economy 'and tourism · Increased property values Enhanced recreational opportunities Community Needs and Desires' 1:' '_'.. 1. Growing grassroots citizen's groups will support .development of all types of trail facilities through volu!1teer partnerships. . . 2.' Resident surVeys, public workshop and task force workshop" . indicate a desire for all facilities types. 3. 78% of Seminole County residents surveyed would use local parks more often if sidewalks, bike paths or trails were provided. 4. Community polling indicates strong desire. tolinklocal neigl:1borhoods with public facilities. . 5.' '.A trail network which crosses the entire cOliniy and connects with regional trails is a high priority. 6. Central Florida ranks as one of nations worst for bicycle safety. 7.. Seminole County bicycle and equestrian facilities do not meet median recommended state standards. ,): , .. ,:":;";". .' '. ." ..

Within 5 Year (CIE 1997/98 - 00/01) The Task Force strongly recommends the BCC integrate bike lanes (signed and striped) into the County road program. Two actions were proposed: 1. Policy Adoption: The County shall include the development of bike lanes (signed and striped), into all future new roads. road widenin~ and resurfacine projects unless it can be demonstrated to not be financially feasible ~r a critical safe(y issue. 2. The Public Wodes Office/Engineering Division proposed to the Task Force three County roadways where safety shoulders 4 feet in width could be constructed as an alternative to bike lanes for experienced bicylists. CR 426: Division Street to Genova Dr. ......................... 3.0 miles Chuluota By-Pass: CR 419 to Snow Hill Rd................... 1.7 miles Rinehart Rd: CR 46A to SR 426......................................2.3 miles Funding Funding Strategy/Source The Taskforce recommends that full bike lanes be constructed on the roads identified above with the addition of the new Grantline Rd (rom SR 46 to CR 46A. $450K $255K $345K The estimated construction cost of safety shoulders along both sides of the three roads identified can be incorporated within the existing programmed projects cost without having negative impacts to the overall road construction program. The cost of developing bike lanes would have to be evaluated to determine the need for additional ROW, intersection re-design etc. to meet design standards required for bike lanes. The Task Forte identified an alternative design criteria adopted by the FDOT which permits reduction of vehicle lane width from 12 to I I feet to accomodate for bikes. - . - /- , - /______.____ __ __...__.______._u_..__.____.._____. _____.__.__________ ----,,-...-.. - - ---------... --;..._~--- ATTACHMENT fJ2 . -. ."'". a. ...:..

BACKCROUND: The BCC established a Countywide Trails and Greenways Task force in October of 1995 to assist staff in the development of a plan for trails, greenways and bikeways which would link neighborhoods, with schools, parks, natural areas and activity centers throughout the County. Several months of meetings, workshops, and planning eharrelles, have resulLed in the attached Conceptual Plan which is being recommended by Countywide Trails and Grcenways Task Force and staff as basis for a long term Trails Program for Seminole County. BCC action is rcqucstcd on thc following: I. Adoption of the Greenways, Trails and I3ikeways Conceptual Mnster PInn as the vision for implementation and funding of a long range Countywide Program. 2. I30ard direction on Taskforce recommendations for integrating bike Innes (signed and striped) into the County road program. a) Constructing bike lanes on the following roads: o CR 426: Division St. to Genova Dr. o Chuluota By-Pass o Rinehart Road: CR 46A to SR 4\6 o Grantline Road The Engineering staff identified CR 426, Chuluota By-Pass and Hinehart Rd as three facilities where lour fl)ot safety shoulders could be integrated into existing road projects with current funds. The cost associated with construction of bike lanes would have to be further evaluated by staff in order to delcrminc additional ROW needs and intcrseetion rc-eonslruetion to meet design standards for bike lane facilities. Thc Taskforce also identilied for staff evalualion the alLernative design criteria adopted by the FDOT which is being lIsed 10 incorporate bikc lanes inlo exisling roadways where additional ROW is not available. Policy Adoption: The County shall include the development of bike lanes, (signed and striped), into all future new roads, road widenings and rcsurfacing projects unless it cun be demonstrated to not be linaneially feasible or a crilical safety issue.
