What is the Capital Legacy Project?
The Capital Legacy Project is a website clearinghouse for several significant government projects. It is intended to be a communications portal to empower citizens, businesses and government with information to create a shared vision of our future transportation networks.
Ultimately, the Capital Legacy Project will result in a Regional Mobility Plan and a Regional Transit Study for Leon, Gadsden, Wakulla, and Jefferson Counties; an updated route system for StarMetro; implementation of the Tallahassee-Leon County Multimodal District through the Community Code and Downtown Overlay; and finally it will result in a Mobility Element for the Tallahassee-Leon County Comprehensive Plan which will outline sustainable transportation policies for the next 20 years.
These major transportation and land use planning projects have the potential to dramatically shape our community for decades to come, and will create our legacy for future generations.
This site serves several functions. Over the next two years, it will provide the latest updates on these projects, along with background information on the economic, social, and environmental implications of how we grow. Most importantly, this portal will allow you to tell decision makers what is important - what needs to be preserved, what needs to change, and what mistakes our community shouldn't make again.
Through this portal, we as a community can answer the simple question:
What are we leaving our children and grandchildren?
You can help build a new future by sharing your opinions through various surveys over time, or sending us photos or stories that show what you really love about the Capital Region.
Partnerships and Purpose
CLP is a joint project between the Capital Region Transportation Planning Agency, the Tallahassee-Leon County Planning Department, and StarMetro. While it grew out of state and federal requirements to update several long range planning documents, local government staff and elected leaders saw an opportunity for our community to step back and look at what we want to be. Rather than simply meet minimum standards and perpetuate an economically an environmentally unsustainable status quo, over the next two years our community will decide what it wants to look like in 20, 30, even 50 years. At the same time, local government will be incorporating those values into our guiding transportation and land use documents.
