Capital Cascade Trail Master Plan

The Capital Cascade Trail Master Plan is a stormwater and greenways plan for a 5.2 mile corridor through Tallahassee, Florida. The project entails planning for trails, parks and greenway amenities in combination with a stormwater retrofit master plan project.

The project limits include the St. Augustine Branch the Central Drainage Ditch and the Central Drainage Ditch from the St. Augustine Branch to the confluence with Munson Slough with a total contributing drainage area of approximately 5,146 acres.

The project involved performing a SWMM model of the contributing basin and using the model to analyze the effectiveness of proposed improvements. Proposed stormwater improvements include:

• Box culverts;
• Stilling pools;
• Wet detention facilities;
• Off-line treatment ponds;
• Stream morphology enhancements;
• Trash collection devices 
• Conveyance reconstruction and enhancement; and 
• Construction of wetland habitat.

 The proposed improvements will provide:

• Much needed flooding relief;
• Water quality enhancements;
• Channel stabilization;
• Greenways/Trails; and 
• Passive recreational facilities.

In addition, the highlight of the project is Capital Cascade Park which will provide opportunities for community cultural facilities.
