Emergency Response System - Decals
The trail now has an emergency response system with decals! The emergency response system will help keep the trail system safer and enable emergency response vehicles to pinpoint the exact location of an incident. The bright yellow decals are adhered directly onto the trail surface approximately 200 feet apart and have unique location numbers. The decals also provide contact information to report maintenance problems. The decals begin at Demens Landing in downtown St. Petersburg with PT-0000, and continue to east of U.S. Highway 19 in Tarpon Springs, where the Trail currently ends at Melon Street and Keystone Road with PT-0699.
