Paved greenways that traverse long distances have additional economic development considerations that may justify a higher level or frequency of ameni- ties. As part of an economic development initiative, SUN Trails were established as a statewide system of high priority paved shared use path corridors in Flor- ida. The Florida SUN Trail network weaves together many existing and future greenway corridors into long distance routes, which should attract visitors to Hillsborough County as our greenways system grows and becomes better connected to the statewide net- work. For safety and intuitive operations, contrasting sur- face types delineate areas for movement in relation to waysides and areas for congregation. In addition, setting back furniture away from the edge of the traveled way ( Figure 27 ) or visibly contrasting stamped patterns can encourage lower speeds by wheeled users in locations with large volumes of pe- destrians.
