BCC Approves Funding for New Park Equipment and Multi-Use Path Design Completion

Published Jun 19, 2020

The Escambia County Board of County Commissioners voted to approve two agenda items Thursday, June 18 that will provide new outdoor amenities and positively impact the quality of life for Escambia County citizens:

  • $234,177.82 in upgrades to playground components for Beulah Regional Park Improvements.
  • Reallocation of $47,338.98, to complete the final engineering design for the Perdido Key Multi-Use Trail, which includes utility coordination, environmental permitting, bidding, and project close-out certifications

In March 2020, the Perdido Key Crosswalks Project, which includes five locations, was completed under budget by approximately $87,280. On Thursday, June 18, the Commission approved staff to reallocate the necessary funds from the Perdido Key Crosswalks Project to the Engineering Design Phase of the East Segment of the Perdido Key Multi-Use Trail Project.

The Perdido Key Multi-Use Trail design is currently at 90% completion for the two segments spanning from the Alabama State Line to Gongora Drive, as delivered from the Florida Department of Transportation. The east segment, spanning 3.49 miles, is expected to be funded with RESTORE Pot 1 funding as approved by the commission on November 18, 2019.

When complete, the multi-use trail will extend approximately 6.2 miles from the Alabama-Florida state line eastward through Perdido Key State Park to River Road. The design includes a 10-foot wide paved path along the north side of Perdido Key Drive.
