Following two traffic fatalities in the last three months of 2011, residents of Seminole Woods have been pleading Palm Coast officials for a sidewalk. That wish might be granted sooner than originally planned, City Manager Jim Landon confirmed Friday.
In a follow-up interview from discussions at the Feb. 14 Palm Coast City Council workshop, Landon said city engineers can do the design for the path in-house, which would save money and could speed up the process.
The first phase of the path would stretch from Utah Place, north, to State Road 100, Landon said. Then, residential roads could be used up until the pond between Ulaturn Trail and Universal Trail. The next phase would connect the path to Universal Trail.
Most of the work would be done by city crews, and then a company would just have to come in and lay the asphalt, Landon said. He said the engineering department has been asked to add this project to its work plan.
City officials have repeatedly said a Seminole Woods path is next on the city’s master plan, but federal grant dollars are dried up, and so the project will take longer than anticipated. However, if the city can do the design work, smaller grants might open up, Landon said.
“We think there might be some smaller grants that if we can get it designed, we can use those smaller grants just for construction,” Landon said.
Landon did confirm that while this project is moving forward, it isn’t going to be finished in the immediate future.
“We’re trying to stay within our means and do it with in-house resources,” Landon said.
