The SUN Trail dataset represents the existing, planned and conceptual paved multiuse trails for bicyclists and pedestrians, physically separated from vehicular traffic, that form a land-based statewide trail network. This map is a synthesis of trail planning efforts of municipalities, counties, transportation planning organizations, other public agencies and non-profits entities throughout Florida. This data does not include all existing, proposed and conceptual trails in Florida, but focuses on high priority linear corridors and connections of statewide and regional significance to form a comprehensive connected system. The SUN Trail data is derived from the Florida Greenways and Trails System (FGTS) Priority Land Trails Network, overseen by the Office of Greenways and Trails, modified by removal of corridors not envisioned as paved trails. FDOT defines a multiuse trail as a paved, shared use path, which is typically 12 feet wide, but may commonly vary from 10 feet to 14 or more feet depending upon physical or environmental constraints or volume of use. In some areas of extreme constraints such as at bridges or in environmentally sensitive lands where conditions require a smaller footprint, a multiuse trail may be as narrow as eight feet. |
