Brief presentations during the Zoom webinar will be made by Pinellas County Parks & Conservation Resources and Public Works, Forward Pinellas, and the Friends of the Pinellas Trail organization. A question-and-answer session will follow. The Community Conversation aims to build on the enthusiasm for the trail, encourage involvement in Friends of the Pinellas Trail and the Bicycle and Pedestrian Advisory Committee (BPAC), provide updates about construction and maintenance and answer questions. Topics will also include an upcoming trail courtesy campaign, future amenities, trail security and how Pinellas County is building out its multimodal transportation network. The Pinellas Trail stretches 60 miles from St. Petersburg to Tarpon Springs and is used by 250,000 residents and visitors each month. It is envisioned as a 75-mile loop that will connect to many county locations and regional trail networks. In June, the Pinellas Trail was featured by the Wall Street Journal as one of 6 Incredible Bike Trips You Can Easily Do Yourself.
