Tampa St. Petersburg, FL, October 23, 2026 —
Tampa has completed the Green Spine, a 3.5-mile protected, two-way bike route running east-west across the city. The route connects North Hyde Park, downtown, Ybor City and East Tampa.
The final segment was completed along W. Cass Street, finishing the route. The Green Spine uses raised concrete dividers to separate the bike route from other street traffic. The project is described as enhancing cycling safety and connectivity across Tampa.
The available project information does not identify a completion date beyond saying the route is now complete. It also does not specify the cost, the agencies or contractors involved, or when the route opened for use. No details were provided about construction phases, traffic changes or cycling counts.
The route’s east-west alignment links several named Tampa areas, while its protected, two-way design and raised dividers are among the features identified in the project description. The summary does not provide further information about connections to other bike routes or transportation services.
With the W. Cass Street segment complete, the Green Spine is described as a finished 3.5-mile route. Further project details, including the timeline and cost, were not provided.
