The Trail will be 12 feet wide and will run parallel to the Parkway. There is sufficient room in the Parkway corridor to separate the Trail from the highway with fencing and buffers. The trail will cross several rivers and wildlife crossings on specially designed bridge extensions. The southern 32 miles of trail will include trailheads at SR 50 and Anderson Snow Regional Park, as well as other locations in Pasco and Hillsborough Counties. Also, the MPO is responsible for preparing applications to the State for grants funded out of the Transportation Disadvantaged Trust Fund.
Clients are responsible for supplying their own wheelchairs.
Multi-use trails are a major component of the MPO's long range plans for bicycle and pedestrian travel in Hernando County. The Long Range Transportation Plan calls for no less than six major trail systems to be in place before 2020. Creation of an additional paved recreation trail running from the City of Brooksville to the Withlacoochee State Trail is also a feature of the Plan. When Phase I of the Suncoast Parkway from Pasco County to US 98 is completed, the Suncoast Trail will also become a major component of the County's trail network. The Plan also contemplates a series of paved and unpaved trails west of US 19.
