PASCO COUNTY, Fla. — Pasco County leaders have a plan to better connect Port Richey to New Port Richey with a new trail.
It would create a trail connection under U.S. 19 at Baylea Drive in Port Richey across and along the Cotee River.
Right now, there is no way for pedestrians to cross the river.
Pasco County leaders say the new trail would help boost safety for people who want to walk and bike over the Cotee River.
The new trail could also better connect tourists and locals to the Waterfront District, Nick’s Park and the Bridge Street Pathway, bringing an economic boost to the area, according to county leaders.
Some residents have asked that golf cart use be allowed on the new trail, but county leaders are still looking into whether or not that is a financially viable option.
County leaders are meeting on October 10th and are expecting to finalize a plan for the new trail in November.
