At the concluding session of the Community Design Workshop, the InVision Tampa consulting team presented an idea of creating dedicated cycle track along Nuccio Parkway. The concept reduces the number of lanes to 2 lane (2-way streets), includes on street parking and the dedicated bike trail. In all of our neighborhood charrettes, there was an overwhelming desire to connect neighborhoods to downtown, the river and in particular, Curtis Hixon Waterfront Park. If constructed, this bikeway would provide a continuous trail through the urban core connecting residents from Ybor City to North Hyde Park and providing access to the Hillsborough River. A real life example of an urban cycle trail already exists in Indianapolis and such a facility could be in Tampa’s future. Is this a good idea?
