Sutherland Bayou Boat Ramp
Boat Ramp and Driveway Project Update
The project team has been refining the plan to keep the parking in its current configuration with no planned loss of parking spots. The project will include fresh pavement on the access road and areas adjacent to the launch area and will add a new sidewalk connection to the Pinellas Trail.
We appreciate your patience as we finalize these updates. Once the revised plan is complete, it will be made available on this site.
