Written by Wildwood wants to know which bike lanes, trails and sidewalk fixes should come first, and residents have until Dec. 18 to weigh in.
The city has entered the third phase of its bicycle and pedestrian master plan. Working with consulting engineers Kimley-Horn, staff narrowed earlier public feedback down to 20 potential projects. Now the city is asking people to rank them, because there isn’t money to build everything at once.
“Taking all the feedback received to date, we have worked with our engineering consultant to identify 20 potential projects,” Parks and Recreation Director Courtney Kellem said in the city’s announcement. “Now we are asking the public to help us prioritize them, recognizing that available resources are limited and we can’t do everything all at once.”
How to take the survey
- Where: tinyurl.com/WWBikePedPhase3 (a short interactive form)
- Deadline: Responses are collected through Dec. 18
- Questions: Visit the Wildwood Community Center, 6500 Powell Road, or call Parks and Recreation at 352-461-0134
What happens next
Kimley-Horn expects to present the finished master plan to the Wildwood City Commission in early 2027. The ranking from this survey will help decide which projects move to the front of the line.
“We need to know what’s most important to our community,” Kellem said. “We can make educated guesses all day long, but without actually hearing from the public, we are still just guessing.”
