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.
