Palmetto Trails Connectivity & Mobility Project
With Palmetto’s pedestrian and bicycle fatality rates significantly higher than the national average and projected traffic increases of 46% over the next 20 years, safety is a priority. Residents who can travel for work, spend a quarter of their household income on transportation, with 11% zero-car households requiring public or multimodal options. The Palmetto Trails Network Plan (PTCMP) creates seven multimodal connections between local schools, parks and community activity centers. Preconstruction activities will be finished before June 20, 2025, and the entire program of improvements will be completed prior to September 2030.
