From Oct. 29 to Nov. 5, Palm Coast, the Florida Department of Transportation, and partners from across the state are celebrating FDOT’s fourth-annual Mobility Week to encourage residents to make smart transportation choices.
This year, the city of Palm Coast is recognizing the week with a series of events as well as a social media campaign that highlights the city’s trail system. Mobility Week will feature three special events.
The first is a kickoff walk with Mayor David Alfin at Central Park, beginning at noon on Friday, Oct. 29. Walkers will meet at the amphitheater area of Central Park and do some brisk laps around the fountain with friendly conversation.
On Saturday, Oct. 30, at 10 a.m., Mayor Alfin will be joined by staff members of the city of Palm Coast and Flagler County at the Palm Coast Community Center to discuss the many transportation projects in Flagler County. The talk will end with a bike ride down St. Joe Walkway to Linear Park with Vice Mayor Eddie Branquinho.
Get the kiddos involved too, with “Our Neck of the Woods.” The Palm Coast Fire Department will join Miss Ashley for an interactive story, craft time, and a fun walk through Linear Park. The Palm Coast Fire Department will offer free car seat checks to make sure your little one is riding safe and secure. The event is 10 a.m. Wednesday, Nov. 3, at Linear Park.
Mobility Week also features a statewide bicycle challenge known as the Love to Ride Florida challenge. Last year, more than 2,000 Floridians and 174 organizations rode over 200,000 miles. This year's Love to Ride Florida Challenge kicks off on Oct. 29, the first day of Mobility Week and lasts through Nov. 30. The Love to Ride Florida Challenge encourages riders to pedal on throughout the month of November to earn points and qualify for prizes.
