Trail across Courtney Campbell Causeway proposed
The Florida DOT held the first of two public forums to discuss the proposed multi-use trail across the Courtney Campbell Causeway tonight in Tampa. If this plan goes ahead, there will be major improvement for cyclists and others to cross the bay from north Pinellas to Tampa. Another meeting is scheduled for Thursday, May 22 in Clearwater.
It will extend from the area near the proposed Bayshore Trail extension in Pinellas County (Bayshore Boulevard at SR 60) to the eastern end point at the sidewalk/multi-use path currently under construction as a part of the Tampa Airport Interchange project in Hillsborough County.
The public meeting will be held:
Thursday, May 22, 2008 - 6:00 p.m. to 8:00 p.m.
Clearwater Christian College, Bldg. D
3400 Gulf to Bay Boulevard
Clearwater, Florida

How cool would it be if it eventually linked up to the Suncoast? I know, I know - wishful thinking.

The best way to link the Pinellas Trail to the Suncoast Trail right now seems to be up along Keystone Road and then north through to the JB Starkey Wilderness. Believe me, we've looked at- and still look at- everything, trying to play connect the dots and get some of these big trails linked up.
