• The City of Dunedin reminds those using the Pinellas Trail to leave room for others to pass. Whether you're walking or biking, leave enough room for others to get around you. Don?t bike and walk in large groups spread across the trail and always yield to oncoming traffic. (City of Dunedin via Facebook)
