A RESOLUTION OF THE CITY COUNCIL OF THE CITY
OF EDGEWATER, FLORIDA SUPPORTING THE EAST
CENTRAL FLORIDA REGIONAL RAIL TRAIL;
PROVIDING FOR FILING WITH THE CITY CLERK;
PROVIDING FOR CONFLICTING PROVISIONS, AN
EFFECTIVE DATE AND ADOPTION.
WHEREAS, the City of Edgewater considers bicycle and pedestrian transportation to be
of utmost importance to the area by providing the region with recreation and transportation
opportunities as well as the possibilities of economic and community development; and
WHEREAS, studies from previous "rails to trails" projects have determined that
converting an abandoned rail corridor to a trail deters crime by cleaning up the landscape and
attracting trail users; and
WHEREAS, trails have popular amenities that include uses of cycling, hiking, running,
skating, wildlife viewing, and equestrian use in appropriate areas that draw tourists to the area
and bring a positive economic impact to communities that have trails located within them; and
WHEREAS, trails help communities by preserving and creating connected open spaces,
along with protecting the environment and habitats of important wildlife and wetland
ecosystems; and
WHEREAS, studies have supported that trails are known to revitalize areas and are
becoming a key amenity as many developments and businesses are leveraging the marketing
power of trails by including their proximity to a trail.
NOW, THEREFORE, be it resolved by the City Council of the City of
Edgewater, Florida:
