PROJECT PURPOSE

Segment 3 of the Capital Cascade Trail project is known as the FAMU Way Segment, based on the corridor’s proximity to the current and future extension of FAMU Way. The properties adjacent to Segment 3 can be characterized as both established and ‘in transition’ from one use to another. As with every segment of the project, the goals are multi-faceted, with the overall objective of providing a multi-use trail located within a greenway setting that will link smaller community parks along with the overall reduction of flooding and improvement of the water quality of the St. Augustine Branch. Emphasis has been placed on providing facilities that will support the overall objectives of the Florida Agricultural and Mechanical University Campus Master Plan in conjunction with the Gaines Street Revitalization Plan, while taking into consideration the railroad and currently operating adjacent land uses. Connectivity to other bicycle/pedestrian routes and trails, and connectivity between campuses, has also been considered. This segment is unique based on the diversity of adjacent uses, the utilization of smaller combined park/stormwater facilities, and the opportunity for connecting to other pedestrian and bicycle facilities.

PROJECT LIMITS
This segment begins at South Monroe Street and extends west following the St. Augustine Branch to its confluence with the Central Drainage Ditch adjacent to Lake Bradford Road.

PROJECT MAP
The attached concept was endorsed by the Intergovernmental Agency Board in 2005. Final Stormwater modeling and concept development efforts on this segment began in mid - 2008. The project will be coordinated with the FAMU Way Extension currently underway by the City of Tallahassee.
