Proposed Bike Trail Would Allow Bicyclists to Ride From Coast to Coast
Florida bicyclists who have long dreamed of being able to ride from the Atlantic coast to the Gulf coast may see their dream become a reality thanks to the Florida Legislature. In a move that delighted Orlando bicycle accident lawyers, Florida lawmakers recently passed a budget that includes $50 million to create a 275-mile "Coast to Coast Connector" bike path. The funds would allow the state to fill gaps between existing trails from Canaveral National Seashore on the east coast to St. Petersburg on the west. Here in Central Florida, the trail would pass through parts of Lake, Orange, Seminole, Volusia and Brevard counties.
