The Blueprint Intergovernmental Agency is working on a new trail project along Tallahassee's South Magnolia Drive. At the same time, a much larger and more controversial road project is being planned in the southwest part of the city.
Blueprint Planning Manager Autumn Calder was on hand at Hartsfield Elementary School Monday night (11/6) to answer resident questions about the new trail. It will stretch along South Magnolia from South Monroe Street to Apalachee Parkway.
"The design will take around 3 to 6 months to complete and then the construction will take about 2 years to finish, so I'd say that we've probably got about 2 and a half to 3 years before this project is complete."
But starting the evening of Tuesday, November 7 and continuing through mid-month, Calder says there will be 5 public meetings on the Airport Gateway. It will extend from Springhill Road to the new FSU Southwest Campus.
"These meetings are going to give us the opportunity to really dive into the details of the Airport Gateway Project, which is a Blueprint 2020 sales tax project," she explained.
Here's the meeting schedule for that project:
