Community Open House on Shore Drive Trail Project

St. Johns County will host a community open house from 5:30 to 6:30 p.m. on Wednesday, February 11, at the St. Augustine South Improvement Association, located at 709 Royal Road, St. Augustine, to present the finalized plan for the proposed Shore Drive Trail project and gather public input through a community survey.

County staff will be available to provide information on the completed trail plan and answer questions. The public is invited to review the proposal and share feedback on whether they support moving forward with the project.

The proposed Shore Drive Trail would extend approximately 3.25 miles between the Doug Crane Boat Ramp and the Moultrie Boat Ramp. The project includes a 5-foot-wide paved, multi-use path within the County-managed Shore Drive Waterfront Park, utilizing asphalt paving, permeable asphalt in designated areas, and boardwalks in environmentally sensitive locations. The design prioritizes minimal impacts to existing vegetation, drainage patterns, and historically significant resources.

In addition to the open house, St. Johns County is requesting participation in a brief Community Survey to document whether respondents support or oppose the project and whether they are residents of St. Augustine South or other areas of the County.
