This is the view the southbound cyclist faces at the south end of the trail.
This is the route one must currently take. – Extremely dangerous.Sidewalks are BAD and lead to injury… Highways with no shoulder and a curb are DEADLY.
And the new RR overpass at Blue Springs Road leads to nowhere but a dead end.

This is the corner where Jim was brushed by a car and nearly knocked down while attempting to cross with the light in the crosswalk on11/11/16.
He was taking the shortest route from DeBary Station to the trail. There is no alternate route between DeBary Station/Spring-to-Spring Trail and the Blue Spring Trail that doesn’t require riding along 17/92 or crossing it twice.
