City of Tallahassee

Enhancements like wider sidewalks, safe crosswalks and pedestrian-friendly spaces not only encourage walking but also make it safer for kids to get to school. This fosters independence, reduces traffic congestion and promotes an active lifestyle. #PlanningMonth #ItTakesPlanning

It was a banner year for the City of Tallahassee at the annual Corporate Cup Challenge! The City’s coed team, “Squad Goals,” won first place overall, marking back-to-back victories! The team includes Amelia Bryant and Jack Beasley (both with Underground Utilities and Public Infrastructure), alongside John Reddick from Growth Management and Elise Fisher from the CRA. The Tallahassee Police Department TAC team came in first place in the All Male division, followed closely by its Case Closers team in second. Additionally, TPD TAC came in second overall, and Case Closers earned third overall. A special shoutout to Jack, who took home individual honors by winning the biking event, and Amelia, who claimed first place in the women’s running event. The Corporate Cup Challenge brings co-workers from various companies around town together each fall as teams of four compete for the Corporate Cup – the esteemed trophy that shows their commitment to teamwork, fun and fitness. It’s a unique opportunity for co-workers to get outdoors, stay active, build teamwork and enjoy time together. Co-workers, family, friends and pets gather to cheer them on.
