Florida Department of Transportation (FDOT) administers federal funding received from United
States Department of Transportation's (UDOT) Federal Highway Administration (FHWA) through
the Transportation Alternatives (TA) Program. TA funds a variety of smaller -scale transportation
projects and activities that expand and integrate accessible non -motorized travel choices and
make them safer, including on- and off -road bicycle and pedestrian facilities, recreational trails,
safe routes for non -drivers, safe routes to schools, and accessibility improvements to help achieve
compliance with the Americans with Disabilities Act of 1990.
The City administration is applying for a grant for the Pine Tree Drive Bicycle Lanes project. The
City's Transportation Master Plan and Bicycle and Pedestrian Master Plan recommends bike
lanes on Pine Tree Drive between Dade Boulevard and 63 Street, and on LaGorce Drive between
51 Street and 63 Street. The City is currently in the planning phase of this project and the grant
would help to fund the construction phase, which is anticipated to begin in FY 2031. The City is
providing matching funds in the approximate amount of $480,000. The match is contingent on
