First Coast MPO Regional Greenways & Trails Plan Page 25 of 56 overcome by using the existing roadways to make the connection across Beaver Street. The public property ownership adjacent to McCoy Creek continues to Osceola Street, where CSX owns two parcels (approximately 1.3 total acres) between the creek and Forest Street. Avoiding this parcel to the north may be an option with a boardwalk; alternatively, purchasing this isolated property from CSX may be possible. The McCoy Creek corridor would provide a connection from Commonwealth Boulevard to I-95 at Forest Street. Forest Street is currently being reconstructed with wide sidewalks/sidepaths to connect to the FIGURE 22 McCoy Creek facilities at the Riverwalk in the downtown area.
First Coast MPO Regional Greenways & Trails Plan Page 26 of 56 SOUTHERN TERMINUS OF EXISTING BLACK CREEK TRAIL TO GREEN COVE SPRINGS (identified as Segment 2 in Figure 10) Black Creek This corridor evaluation sought to determine how to connect the southern terminus of the Black Creek Trail along US 17 to Green Cove Springs (Figure 23). There are two primary barriers to making this connection - Black Creek and Governors Creek. Both of these creeks are spanned by bridges along US 17. Governors Creek FIGURE 23 Segment 2 The Black Creek Bridge is actually a pair of twolane bridges with wide outside shoulders. Unfortunately, these shoulders cannot be used to provide a two-way shared use path across the river. Using these shoulders for a two-way bike path would place contra-flow bicycle traffic immediately adjacent to motor vehicle traffic on US 17 and require bicyclists (and motorists) to operate contrary to the rules of the roadway. Additionally, this would be a very uncomfortable place for bicyclists to ride. FIGURE 24 Black Creek Bridge To cross Black Creek at this location, the US 17 bridge (Figure 24) would have to be analyzed to determine if a cantilever structure could be added to provide for a shared use path adjacent to the roadway. It is recommended to pursue this option to see how this could be done and how much it would cost.
