Re
Interlocal Agreement within St. Lucie County for the Placement of St. Lucie County Transit Bicycle Share Stations in City Right-of-way and Parks
Submitted For:
Rebecca Grohall

SUBJECT:

Approval of Interlocal Agreement with St. Lucie County for the Placement of Transit Bicycle Share Stations in City Right-of-way and Parks.

SUMMARY:

  • St. Lucie County Transit Services is establishing a countywide, two-year pilot bike share system. The new pilot program will initially be supported by nine stations and fifty specialty bicycles. The initial pilot program features five (5) bicycle station locations in the City Limits, with three (3) proposed on land under City control.
  • The station locations are designed to integrate with the existing St. Lucie Transit System, and promote access to important activity destinations in Fort Pierce, along existing transportation hubs, Downtown, and Hutchinson Island.
  • Station locations were determined as a result of a careful selection process with assistance from the Cities of Fort Pierce and Port St. Lucie, St. Lucie Transportation, Planning Organization, and the Florida Department of Transportation.
  • Three (3) of the selected locations within the City of Fort Pierce are held by the City, therefore an interlocal agreement with St. Lucie County is proposed to authorize the placement and maintenance of Transit Bicycle Share Stations on City controlled right-of-way and/or park land.
