City leaders on Aug. 5 approved updates to Longwood’s Bicycle-Pedestrian Master Plan, along with a 2045 Mobility Plan and a mobility fee on new development and redevelopment. The bike-pedestrian plan is a long-range vision which includes more than 40 projects at a cost of $9.4 million.

Lauren Rushing, a transportation planner with Nue Urban Concepts who worked with the city on the plans, said during a July 25 council meeting the moves are important because they will allow the city to establish the mobility fee, promote better connectivity and take away barriers for development.
