Hit The Trails!

Have you been on any of the Florence trails? If not, you don't know what you're missing. They are REALLY NICE!

In 2004, a consultant was brought in by the FLATS committee to develop a Florence Area Bikeway Master Plan. Thanks to the City of Florence's efforts and the grants through FLATS, we now have many trails to enjoy and more in the works.

I'll let you know when we get this Master Plan and the current Trails information in online to view. Look for it in January!

Local hotels and other community organizations have brochures on the Trails system. There has been so much interest from both residents and tourists that we are in the process of having more brochures printed for display.

Anyone out there interested in promoting new bicycle/pedestrian trails or lanes?

Well then you need to join our growing group of volunteers on the Florence Trails Committee. We meet quarterly on the 3rd Tuesday at 12:30 p.m. at the Florence County Planning Department located at 518 S. Irby Street. Call the County Planning Department at 843-676-8600 to have your name added to the e-mail notification list.

We had a great trails meeting last week. The City of Florence updated the committee on the newest trail on Jefferies Creek off National Cemetery Road. It's called the "SWIM" project (Storm Water Improvement - which is important stuff!) This trail should be ready in the spring of 2009.

Happy Trails!
