| City of Kissimmee | Joshua DeVries | N/A | Multi-Use | 06-19-2008 | The Multi-Use Opportunity layer looks great when zoomed to the full extent, but when you zoom into a specific location, the layer is so large, it covers up all the surrounding area. I wanted to see where these trails were, and you just can't tell, because everything you would use as referance points are covered up when you are zoomed in. It may be helpful to have the ddisplay change to a smaller width when you are zoomed in. Other than that, this is a great map and will be very helpful. It has a lot of very useful layers. |

Wilson Biophilia Center at Nokuse Plantation. |
| Ecoast LLC | Ben Hay Hammet Jr. | Ft Walton to Westville Corridor | Multi-Use | 07-14-2008 | Please consider realigning the corridor segment extending from Hwy 331 to the Choctawhatchee River Corridor to the new Florida Trail segment which runs along the southern boundary of Nokuse Plantation North from Hwy 81 to Hwy 331. Of course, there may be reasons of which I am unaware for retaining the current alignment. |
| Ecoast LLC | Ben Hay Hammet Jr. | Ft Walton to Westville Corridor | Multi-Use | 07-14-2008 | Please drop the corridor slightly southward near the Bay Loop Road/Hwy 20 intersection on the west side of Freeport to include the extensive trail system within the Hammock Bay development. |
| Ecoast LLC | Ben Hay Hammet Jr. | Great NW Coastal Trail Corridor | Multi-Use | 07-14-2008 | Please move the southern boundary of the corridor in Walton County and Panama City Beach to align with the Gulf of Mexico shoreline.

| Ecoast LLC | Ben Hay Hammet Jr. | Panama City Beach Greenway Corridor | Multi-Use | 07-14-2008 | Please realign this corridor slightly to encompass both the 2900-acre Pines & Ponds trail system developed by the City of Panama City Beach and the upcoming Audubon Center at West developed by the National Audubon Society and St. Joe Company. |
| Flagler County | Tim Telfer | Pellicer Creek - Flagler Extension Corridor | Multi-Use | 06-20-2008 | Recommend this segment incorporate an additional trail extending south down US 1 through Flagler County to Bunnell and the Palatka to Flagler County Corridor. This would provide a link with the Lehigh Greenway Rail Trail Corridor also. In addition this segment has trail improvements already completed along US 1 in Flagler County. |
| Florida Cattlemen's Association | Charles D. Russo | Historic Jupiter to Indiantown Road Corridor | Multi-Use | 06-26-2008 | To whom it may concern,
I support your trail system in many ways, however, I believe the property owners that the Jupiter Indiantown Road Corridor will effect should be given written notices of your intent. I am refering to the property owners who own the property the proposed trail is designated to travel through.
Your trail will adversely effect peoples livelyhood and property rights.
We, the property owners were never consulted with nor invited to any meetings. Merely posting meetings on a web site or newspaper is not sufficient. Letters should be mailed to the property owners.

| Miami Urbanized Area MPO | Eric Tullberg | N/A | Multi-Use | 07-14-2008 | River of Grass Greenway (adjacent to US-41 from Hwy 92 to Krome Av.) This trail is of great importance because: a. It connects Collier & Dade Co. b. The Florida Trail ends nearby. c. Shark Valley, ENP is a great 15 mile loop. d. Many nature viewing sites in Big Cypress NP & ENP. The path should follow the L-29 & L-28 levees where possible. At the proposed 1 mile long skyway a separated path at least 8 ft. wide must be built across the bridge with 42"handrails. There should be parking lots at the ends for sightseers; no stopping on the bridge should be allowed. The path should have a very smooth paved surface and be at least 8 ft. wide. Bollards 36" apart at all entrances would control ATVs & cars. |

| North Florida Bicycle Club | Carmen Martinez M.D. | N/A | Multi-Use | 06-17-2008 | I am interested in helping to help get the Fernandina to Yullee, to Callahyan, to the Jax -Baldwin Trail and points west become a reality. I think it is important to connect the East Coast Greenway with points west in Florida. The North Florida Bicycle Club supports this cause along with other projects in Jacksonville. Please let me know how we can be of help. Our members are avid users of the Jax Balwin Trail so we definitely want to do whatever we can to help. |
| Northeast Everglades Trails Association | Susan Kennedy | N/A | Multi-Use | 07-10-2008 | Beeline Highway Cooridor - Palm Beach, Martin and Okeechobee Counties. This is a REAL opportunity right now - DOT is in early design stage for widening the road. They will have to do a lot of mitigation. Again - hard and soft trails for hiking, bike and equestrian. It connects to Corbett WMA, PB County lands and up to the Lake. Would also be important non-motor transport corridor. Big challeng with the bridge over the C-44 canal. Connects to many east-west corridors. |
| Northeast Everglades Trails Association | Susan Kennedy | N/A | Multi-Use | 07-10-2008 | New trail - the "Sugar Trail" along the route of SR 80 starting from the split from the canal corridor at ARM Refuge - stay along the road and connect to Belle Glade, South Bay, Clewiston and into La Belle. Should have both multi-use hard path for bike and soft horse/hiking path. Make use of the new land acquisition opportunity and get the trails as part of the SFWMD restoration project. Will help assist the small communities and tie non-motorized transportation to these rural areas. Can connect to LOST and related trails also. Would be another great "cross-florida" opportunity through the historical sugar lands. |
| Northeast Everglades Trails Association | Susan Kennedy | N/A | Multi-Use | 07-10-2008 | Pratt Whitney trail corridor - in PB & Martin County, connects Southern Blvd north to the Martin East West Corridor. Goes through rural communities and some suburban and is adjacent to many natural areas. Should be both hard and soft surface as the corridor allows - it ties many equestrian neighborhoods to larger riding areas and the OTL corridor. Would also be alternative non-motor transportation. |
| Northeast Everglades Trails Association | Susan Kennedy | N/A | Paddling | 07-10-2008 | Fisheating Creek in Highlands and Glades counties should be a corridor - goes to the Lake. |
| Northeast Everglades Trails Association | Susan Kennedy | Ocean to Lake Trail Corridor | Multi-Use | 07-10-2008 | The OTL Corridor could/should be expanded to have a northern "loop" - JD Park along the northern "green" lands already owned, down to the north entrance of Corbett - the intersection of Indiantown Road and Beeline Hwy. The small parcels along the Beeline near that intersection are missing links in the corridor and it would help to have them on an opportunity map. |
| Northeast Florida Equestrian Society | Joanne Connell | Jax Baldwin to Keystone Heights Corridor | Multi-Use | 07-14-2008 | Our organization would support and volunteer to help with connecting the Cecil Field North property from the Baldwin rails to trails, under I-10 (existing via-duct) through Cecil North and across Normandy Blvd to access Jennings Forrest. Cecil North is existing public park land property with trails conveyed to the City of Jacksonville by the Dept of Interior. Seems like a low (or no) cost and easy access to connect up Baldwin towards Keystone Heights. |
| Office of Greenways and Trails | Robin Turner | Kernan Blvd Corridor | Multi-Use | 06-24-2008 | At the Jacksonville Public Workshop, Vanessa Price with the City of Jacksonville provided me with a disk of the trail along Kernan Blvd. I have compared the information on the disk with the Trails Network database. Corridor 78 is accurate, please retain as part of the 2007 Multi-Use Trails Opportunities. |
| Office of Greenways and Trails | Robin Turner | N/A | Multi-Use | 07-16-2008 | Per conversation with Chuck Hatcher, Director of Jackson County Parks & Recycling, please extend a multi-use trail corridor along the northern portion of the Chipola River to the Alabama State line. He is requesting Chipola Greenway Oppurnity Map incude the land north of the current greenway that we have now. This would run up to the Alabama stateline. This would include Marshall Creek and Cowarts Creek which form the Chipola in northern Jackson County, and to include the Northwest Florida Water Mgt Land. This has been request from local citizens that want this to be done. We have also been asked by the Friends of Florida Caverns to include the river above the Caverns, which is what we have requested. |

| Palm Beach MPO | Bret Baronak | N/A | Multi-Use | 07-14-2008 | A multi-use and blueway opportunity should be identified, that extends from the eastern edge of the southern blvd. blueway, and runs northwest along the Route 98 and the West Palm Beach Canal, to Lake Okeechobee just north of Pahokee (Canal Point)
|
| Palm Beach MPO | Bret Baronak | Palm Beach Canal Greenway Corridor | Multi-Use | 07-14-2008 | Palm Beach Canal Multi-Use Corridor should be extended west to Belle Glade, it should run the same route as the Southern Blvd. Blueway. A greenway linkage opportunity exists to join the Lake O Trail to the Greenways of Eastern Urban Palm Beach County. The greenway would run parallel to the Palm Beach Canal and eventually the Hillsboro Canal as it gets closer to Belle Glade, and eventually connects to the Lake O Trail (Herbert Hoover Dike) |
| Polk County | Tabitha Biehl-Gabbard | Bartow Winter Haven Trail Corridor | Multi-Use | 07-07-2008 | We would recommend a trail corridor to be added around Lake Hancock that connects the ?Peace River Greenway ? Polk County Corridor? to the ?Bartow Winter Haven Trail Corridor?. This connection provides excellent opportunity for a multi-use trail around Lake Hancock that would tie into the Fort Fraser Trail. This would create approximately 11 miles of additional trail through existing conservation lands. The trail would travel through Circle B Bar Reserve which is part of the Great Florida Birding Trail and is home to Polk?s Nature Discovery Center which will provide opportunity to share with the public information on recreation trails available throughout the state. Polk?s Nature Discovery Center can serve as the hub/ trail head for central Florida trails.

| Putnam Land Conservancy | Kathy Cantwell | Gainesville Hawthorne Trail Corridor | Multi-Use | 07-01-2008 | PLC Has identified a much better route for a trail that would follow little Orange creek from Hawthorne and link with the CFG. We have maps and fly overs to demonstrate this. We have also discovered an abandoned CSX RR line that they seem to be unaware of that would be a connector to the CFG. Finally, we have identified the potential to connect downtown Palatka to the Florida Trail via a ROW the county(Putnam) has purchased that could have a bike trail as a seperate entity along the abandoned RR that parallels it. The RR ROW follows St Johns Ave and then meets with the ROW the county has just purchased. That Road will evntually connect with SR 20. |
| Trust for Public Land | Andrea Goldman | N/A | Multi-Use | 06-19-2008 | We would like CR 309 in Putnam County to be added as a multi-use opportunity trail segement. This road runs along the river in the Welaka-Georgetown area before connecting back to US 17 (which is part of the River to Sea Loop Trail) and this has also been identified in the Putnam Draft Trails Master Plan. |
