The interface of pedestrians with vehicles requires careful design to ensure the safety <strong>and</strong> movement<br />
of the pedestrian as well as the safety <strong>and</strong> movement of vehicles. In an effort to provide continuous<br />
linkages throughout <strong>Satellite</strong> <strong>Beach</strong> the City must also continue to focus on missing sidewalk links to<br />
maximize the connectivity of exiting walkways.<br />
The City established an ad hoc committee of residents in 1999 to devise a plan for bicycle <strong>and</strong><br />
pedestrian ways throughout the City. The recommendation of that committee was accepted by<br />
Council, <strong>and</strong> won an award from the Brevard County Metropolitan Planning Organization.<br />
Subsequently, the City submitted a major portion of the recommendation to the TPO for funding, <strong>and</strong><br />
commenced completing the other portions as opportunity <strong>and</strong> finances allowed. The TPO approved<br />
the project <strong>and</strong>, in 2008, provided funds that allowed the City to complete implementation of the<br />
plan.<br />
Brevard County completed, through the City, a bicycle/pedestrian path along the east side of A1A as<br />
part of the County’s Coastal Corridor Multi-Use Trail stretching from Sebastian Inlet to Port<br />
Canaveral. The City’s redevelopment agency subsequently included in its A1A corridor<br />
improvement plan a companion bicycle/pedestrian path along the west side of A1A. This project has<br />
been submitted to the TPO for funding <strong>and</strong> is in the approval process for construction in the 2013<br />
time frame.<br />
