Kincaid Loop Trail project community input meeting

Press release from Alachua County

ALACHUA COUNTY, Fla. – Alachua County is hosting an upcoming community meeting to seek input from Southeast Gainesville residents for its Kincaid Loop Trail project.

The meeting will be held on Saturday, Feb. 3, at 10 a.m. at the TB McPherson Center (1717 SE 15th St, Gainesville). Light refreshments and bike safety gear will be provided, while supplies last.

Plans for the 3.34-mile trail include a 10-foot-wide multi-use path and stormwater improvements that extend from:

  • Boulware Springs entrance on Southeast 15th Street to Southeast 41st Street
  • Southeast 41st Avenue to Southeast 27th Street
  • Southwest 27th Street to Hawthorne Road

The County is tentatively planning to begin construction of the $2.8 million project in 2025 and is eyeing a completion date in mid-to-late 2026.

After the meeting, attendees have the option to participate in a group bike ride along the Kincaid Loop Trail.

  • Wow! This could be the first thing that resembles a capital improvement project to come down the pike in county district 4 in over 50 years.
    Where has all the district 4 tax dollars gone?

  • just fix the roads we have now first then you can go build a trail or paint a crosswalks whatever

  • Nooooooo!!!!! We have a lot of wildlife out here that will be encroached upon – and many residents who bought homes here for the peace & quiet & relative remoteness. And the already existing Hawthorne bike trail is a stone’s throw from your projected new project! – so there is already many, many miles of access for bikers to peddle their hearts out. There are SO MANY other projects that could benefit SE Gainesville! Why this, when it benefits so relatively few?!?!
