Franklin County commissioners have agreed to make a few changes to the Alligator Point bike path project

Franklin County commissioners have agreed to make a few changes to the Alligator Point bike path project.

The project will extend the bike path about 2.8 miles from the boat ramp to East Harbor Circle at a cost of about 1.6 million dollars.

There were some concerns raised by residents about the exact location of the path and commissioners agreed this month to allow some modifications to the proposed design and location of the path.

The engineering firm Dewberry will do the design changes at a cost of about 16 thousand dollars and the Florida Department of Transportation has agreed to postpone the review deadline until May 22^nd to allow them time to do the work.

The cost for the changes will come from the county's road paving fund; the cost for the bike path will be paid by the state.
