Project Description:

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

An extension of a state trail system, this trail will add 16 miles in northwest Hillsborough County and will traverse both suburban and rural areas; walking, jogging, bicycling, in-line skating, and horseback riding are included.  Phases I, II, and III are fully funded and Phase IV is partially funded. This Phase will link the Suncoast Parkway Trail to the Upper Tampa Bay Trail.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

Measurable Outcome Anticipated:

 

 

 

 

 

Preservation of existing transportation infrastructure, enhancement of economic growth and competitiveness, and improved travel choices to insure mobility; these will all be measurable outcomes of the implementation of this project.  Development pressure may prevent the opportunity to create this critical link between a regional and state trail system.
