Proposed Hillsborough County List of Parks/Trail Projects

Out of the efforts to delay the demolition of the Friendship TrailBridge grew a proposed list of park projects crafted by Hillsborough County Administrator Mike Merrill. He included the TrailBridge, and trail segments of the South Coast Greenway and the connector trail between the Suncoast Trail and Upper Tampa Bay Trail.

Merrill has floated the idea of the county commissioners placing this $85 million package before the Hillsborough County voters on the Nov 6 ballot.

SWFBUD supports letting the people decide on these projects, including building a new TrailBridge and trail segments that are badly needed and have been proposed for years and years.
