“ Connecting existing greenways should be a priority. When they are connected, they can be utilized more.
“ Connect Apollo Beach Golf Course (now closed for over a year) with the Apollo Beach Community park and make it a walking/running trail system.
“ This is a great start, but we need more! We need to preserve as much natural habitats for wildlife and open space for recreation as possible before it is all developed. ”
