The Village has always met each and every challenge with grace, transparency and integrity. Currently, we are working to gather input from the community for the Inspire Pinecrest Parkway (US 1) Vision Plan. We have held four meetings both in-person and virtually, and plan to host more in the coming months. There are no future meetings scheduled at this time. The latest update on the plan's evolution includes lowering the maximum contemplated height of 8 stories to 4-6 stories. Additionally, the Village is hiring a team of architects, engineers, landscape architects, and other experts. The team of consultants will provide the Village with conceptual renderings of different height and buffering scenarios. An advisory committee to work with staff and the consultants will also be formed. If you are a Pinecrest resident and are an architect, city planner, transportation engineer or landscape architect and would like to volunteer to serve on the advisory committee, please email inspirepinecrest@pinecrest-fl.gov. Use "volunteer" in the subject line. To watch the latest Council workshop held on January 31, 2022 on the subject, visit www.pinecrest-fl.gov/live.

The Parks and Recreation Department launched a holistic health movement named #FitCrest to encourage practicing activities that are good for the mind, body and soul. Each month, a set of three challenges will be presented for you to complete. Use #FitCrest and post your progress. You can complete one activity or all three. What matters is starting. You can visit Hidden Pines Park located between 90 and 92 Streets and parallel to 70 Avenue (pictured above) to start. | SOCIAL SPOTLIGHT Thank you for using the #Pinecresting hashtag.
