Bicycle/Pedestrian Planning
Multimodal planning seeks to provide pedestrians and bicyclists with a safe, accessible and connected transportation network.
Normandy Blvd: First and Last Mile Pedestrian Safety Study
The study analyzed existing conditions within a half-mile radius of bus stop on Normandy Boulevard (JTA Route 14) by identifying and prioritizing infrastructure needs—such as sidewalks, bike lanes, and crosswalks—to enhance safety, increase transit ridership and support safer first- and last-mile connections. These findings, recommendations and cost estimates were developed to guide future improvements and support coordinated planning among local agencies. View the summary brochure.
Moncrief Road Corridor Study: 13th Street to US 1/New Kings Road
The study looked at the Moncrief Road corridor by identifying existing access management issues and identifying feasible strategies to improve the corridor safety and performance for all users.
Core to Coast Trail: Alignment Feasibility Study (Southern Section)
The study examined the initial feasibility of a continuous trail from downtown Jacksonville to Jacksonville’s beach communities. The report details multiple desired alignments, community hubs along the route, and estimated costs of the trail. View the summary brochure.
Pine Street: Pedestrian and Bicycle Study
This corridor safety study evaluated the pedestrian and bicycle safety along Pine Street in Nassau County. The study includes traditional strategies such as building sidewalks and installing pedestrian signals as well as low-cost improvements to connect to local schools and amenities.
Bicycle and Pedestrian Master Plan Update
This plan is a comprehensive review and update for the Bicycle and Pedestrian Master Plan published in October 2013. The update will build upon the plan by examining the North Florida TPO’s bicycle and pedestrian planning efforts including policies, projects, demographics, high crash areas, and community input to develop a set of recommendations for future bicycle and pedestrian planning for North Florida.
Duval Schools Walkability Study
The purpose of the study was to develop a methodology for conducting a context sensitive school walkability analysis that can be replicated for schools throughout the region. The results of the walkability analysis will identify the barriers to pedestrian access to schools with a focus on infrastructure and safety improvements.
