🚴‍♂️ RIDE THE TRAILS, KNOW THE RULES 🚴‍♂️ New signs are now posted at Halpatiokee Regional Park to help riders navigate the park's mountain bike trail E-bike policy.

Under Florida law, Class 1 e-bikes are considered bicycles and are welcome on the trail. Class 2 and Class 3 e-bikes are prohibited on the Halpatiokee Mountain Bike Trail in accordance with park rules.

Not sure what class your E-bike falls under? The new signs break down each classification so you can ride with confidence before you hit the dirt.

Thanks for doing your part to keep the trails safe and enjoyable!

The project included drainage upgrades, roadside grading improvements, and installation of a new six foot wide sidewalk to provide a safer route for pedestrians.

These improvements help make neighborhoods more connected, accessible, and resilient for years to come.

For Public Works Week, we celebrated our team with a staff appreciation cookout and some hands on equipment challenges, giving Operators the chance to test their skills on the Skid Steer, Excavator, and Grapple Truck. It was a fun way to come together and recognize the dedicated employees who keep Martin County moving every day.

The work performed by Public Works crews often goes unseen, but its impact is felt daily through the critical infrastructure and essential services our community relies on.
Thank you to all of the men and women in our Public Works family who proudly serve Martin County. Your hard work, commitment, and dedication are truly appreciated!
