What is the O-Line Trail?
The O-Line is a proposed pedestrian and bike trail in Orlando that would transform an industrial corridor near the SunRail tracks into a walkable, green, public space.

Where will the trail go?
The full project is designed to run from Church Street in downtown Orlando to Michigan Street in SoDo, connecting key neighborhoods and transit stations.

When will it be built?
There’s no set construction date yet, but the city approved a $569,000 engineering study for the first three-block section in September 2025. This marks the first real step in making the project a reality.

Is this similar to the High Line in New York?
It shares a similar vision — taking unused or industrial space and turning it into a pedestrian-friendly trail — though it’s not elevated like the High Line.

Will the trail be safe?
Yes. Safety is a key component, with plans for lighting, wide paths, landscaping, and a design that separates pedestrians and cyclists from nearby roads and industrial traffic.

Will it affect car traffic or the train tracks?
The train tracks will stay in place, and the trail won’t remove any major roads. Instead, it will repurpose underused areas adjacent to the tracks.

How could it impact local businesses?
Trails like this tend to bring more foot traffic, which often leads to more demand for food, retail, and housing nearby. It’s seen as a major opportunity for local economic growth.

Can residents provide feedback or get involved?
Absolutely. As the project progresses, there will likely be community meetings and updates from the city. Residents can follow along via the City of Orlando’s official channels or local planning boards.

Is this part of a bigger vision for Orlando?
Yes. The O-Line supports Orlando’s broader goals of making the city more connected, accessible, and environmentally sustainable — especially in areas where car traffic has historically dominated.
