Contract signed to design Eastpoint Bike Path

            Franklin County Commissioners have signed a contract with Genesis Consulting out of Tallahassee to design the bike path along North and South Bayshore Drives in Eastpoint.

Genesis was chosen from a list of 4 companies that bid for the work.

The state is paying over 400 thousand dollars to build a path parallel to North and South Bayshore Drives.

Construction is slated to begin in 2017.

The design work will be done this year.

The long-term plan is to connect the path to the St. George Island Bridge, so people can bike to and from the island more easily.
