CANAL TRAIL
The Bicycle-Pedestrian Advisory Committee of the St.
Lucie Transportation Planning Organization recently heard a
proposal for a 6.25-mile canal-side trail along Canal 24, also
known as Diversion Canal, Dibenedetto said. He is a member
of that committee and is a project coordinator in traffic operations
for the city. The concept won a favorable reception from
the advisory committee, making it a candidate for project
status in the future. The next step will be to seek grant money
from the state Recreational Trails Program.
The trail, constructed in phases, would run from Crosstown
Parkway to a park at Southbend Boulevard. There are
some hurdles, particularly a very low bridge at Port St. Lucie
Boulevard, he says.
The city has always had many parks and many people who
use them. But the emphasis on providing more active ways to
engage with the outdoors and interest in the well-being of its
citizens is usually seen in larger, older cities and not so much
in smaller, younger ones.
NOW A MATURE CITY
Port St. Lucie has matured, though. It survived difficult
times, is chiseling away at a mountain of debt and is finally
able to focus on helping its residents stay trim and healthy
and find new ways to enjoy the outdoors, a goal that Mayor
Oravec applauds.
“The city has a commitment to healthy living and lifestyles,”
Oravec says. “It’s written into our strategic plan. A >>
A 3,000-square-foot addition to the Savannas Preserve State Park Education
Center provides a large classroom and lab where students and adults can
learn more about the natural features of the park’s wetlands before venturing
out onto the trails.
An 8- to 10-station fitness circuit at Jessica Clinton Park on Southbend
Boulevard might look like this if funding can be raised to create it. The city
opened a crowdfunding site on FundRazr in hopes that residents and businesses
might donate the $30,000 needed.
