The Florida Department of Transportation (FDOT) is conducting a project development and environment (PD&E) study for the St. Johns River to Sea (SJR2C) Loop Trail in Volusia County. The purpose of the study is to develop and evaluate options for a multi‐use trail along U.S. 1, or an alternate route, from State Road (S.R.) 44 (Lytle Avenue) to S.R. 400 (Beville Road) in Volusia County, approximately 18 miles.

You are invited to an upcoming meeting on October 1 beginning at 9 a.m. at the FDOT District Five Office – Cypress Conference Room, 719 S. Woodland Boulevard in DeLand.
