New Pedestrian Bridge Planned for Downtown Orlando

Connections, Connections, Connections.   Today, you can run, walk or bicycle on the Orlando Urban Trail through in town neighborhoods to parks, schools and regional trails.  Gertrude’s Walk is also an urban trail that connects Downtown Orlando’s activity centers, restaurants and businesses.  As early as May 2014, Orlando will have commuter rail service at four downtown stations.  The Colonial Overpass Bridge that spans Colonial Drive (SR 50) is the “missing link” between Orlando’s urban trails and will expand the reach of the LYNX SunRail Station.  With over 1,000 new residential apartments on the way, the demand will be there in 2016.
